@grishka why do you need more precision for this thing though? Why does it matter if it's been 7 days ago, or 13?

I don’t exactly remember the rules I'm personally using for human readable dates but I think I have smth like 1,8 weeks... Which one might argue it's not much better... :D

@mariusor @grishka

On social media this perhaps is fine.

But I've seen this in dev tools like GitHub and CircleCI where you often need precise dates to see the broken commit, the artifacts that went into prod etc.

Google Cloud at one point had relative dates and then US-formatted dates *in logs*

It's like these companies don't use their own products.

@dmitriid yep, I fully agree that the context is important. From @grishka 's screenshot I interpreted that to be a social media website, but it could have been github for all I know. :D
