Don't like this since it's just asking for code conflicts with any other developer's code and their own build number changes.
I prefer setting the number on the CD pipeline. It's one less file to have changes in git.

I disagree that a timestamp is a “build number”. Additionally, injecting dates/times into builds is bad juju from a reproducibility perspective.
