Convert A Unix Epoch Timestamp To A Time Object

Ruby's Time class has an #at method that allows you get the time at a certain unix epoch timestamp. That timestamp is an integer value representing the number of seconds since the unix epoch. While it is a handy way to store that data, it is hard to tell what time it represents at a glance.

Time.at(1669652477)
=> 2022-11-28 10:21:17 -0600

Using Time.at we are able to turn that integer into a Time object that represents the date and time in a human-readable way.
