Not my blog, but the author's experience reminded me of my own frustrations with Microsoft GitHub.

The fact that the dates in the commit log are relative is stupid as shit. I am looking for the commit on March 14th at 3pm, not "last year"

edit: I'm an idiot 😭

edit 2: I just noticed that GitHub's git log does show exact dates, only as headings though, not on each commit.

Don't be xkcd Denver coder, tell us how you fixed this shit right now

I don't think I've ever paid attention at those "headings", it looks just visual noise for me. But it looks like it should be the other way around, the headings should group commits time-related (7 months ago) and each commit should display its exact date.

Yeah I agree, I never noticed until I looked again right after I made my comment 😂

We need to know! Using GitHub at the moment and this is driving me fucking wild.
