Title: Why are timestamps increasingly being replaced by vaguely worded junk?<p>This has been happening for a long time, but today Github told me that when filtering issues based on creation time, &quot;Date formatting must follow the ISO8601 standard&quot;. This is the hill they die on, I guess... Except, the reason I was looking up the syntax for this in the first place was because the creation times are displayed in such a useless manner.<p>I don&#x27;t know, it just seems like for anything older than a day it&#x27;s easier to think about when things happened, not how long ago something happened.
And then the resolution degrades to useless levels for anything older than &#x27;today&#x27; anyway.
