As someone who is able to grok timestamps quickly, in general I am not a fan of "fuzzy dates": "so and so did a thing a few seconds ago" "less than half an hour ago" "in the last week"
stackoverflow, at some point (was it always like this?) has decided on "more than a year ago" as it's longest-possible-fuzzy-date
2013? "More than a year ago"
I mean, sure, technically accurate, but JFC, maybe you could add a "more than a decade ago" in at the top end.
