The exam had hundreds of questions a way more than we'd ever expect people to have in a single exam. Once you were at a few hundred questions, the render times would take over 30 seconds on a MacBook Pro. Thankfully, we were able to patch the issue pretty quickly but I still feel so bad knowing that a bunch of teachers were probably stressing out our mistake.
In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott tell your spookiest scary web dev stories including spooky render times, push notification hell, dark Friday, and more!
