Scott and Wes tackle the all-too-real stress of crunch time as a web developer—how to handle looming deadlines, avoid sloppy shortcuts, and stay methodical when everything feels like it's falling apart. They share practical tips on planning, communicating, cutting scope, asking for help, and preventing the chaos from happening again next time.
