I ran a command in a program. It doesn't really matter what command or program. What does matter is that it took a long time and when it finished, it told me how long it took, but in milliseconds.
835953ms
Typically, when I see a timing number like this, I open Alfred and do some
quick math (N / 1000 / 60 / 60 or something like that).
There is an easier way, using the
pretty-ms-cli. This
purpose-built CLI can be run using something like
npx. All I do is hand it the number of
milliseconds and it prints out how long that is in something that I can
understand.
