“crunch time” just means that I set aside all my other tasks until I fix whatever is on fire, but I still get to go home on time unless I really want the overtime pay

I get the feeling that this is what the industry is moving toward. Most crunches are due to poor planning, so it's stupid to pin them on devs.

Or maybe I'm just working for a good employer.
