Whoever thinks that getting cute by replacing precise timestamps with "1 hour ago", "3 weeks ago", "6 months ago", "recently" etc is a good idea:

STOP IT!

I am particularly glaring at you, github! I don't know if you did it first, but so many other people copied this blight on humanity from you.

On this very post as well, but at least it has the good grace to show original timestamp on mouse hover. (only down to the minute, tough)

@lapo “X units ago” would be okay if it was a default with other choices — like yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss — but for whatever reason it’s the only option. GH making the info available via mouseover is like putting a toilet paper dispenser on the other side of the room from the toilet. Sure, I’ll concede that it’s better than nothing, but it’s shitty UX and totally unnecessary.
