> `5.days.ago` is actually harmful IMO. You get used to stuff like that, and then (if you're me at least), you basically forget how to perform basic date/time operations without it. that's not harmful - it's pretty useless to remember a worse way to do things, especially since you can always just pull in a dependency on activesupport or even paste in that piece of code into your own project and then continue using .days.ago.
