Vent: People keep slapping stucco patch over cracked foundation slabs

I see it every other week on this sub. Someone posts a photo of a foundation crack and five people chime in saying just use some stucco patch. That's not how concrete works. A 1/8 inch crack in a slab will just crack through whatever you put on top of it within a season. I spent three summers working for a guy in the South Valley who drilled and epoxy-injected every single crack we touched. It takes longer and costs more but the fix actually stays. How do you all deal with these hairline cracks that keep coming back through the patch?

V joint cuts and polyurethane caulk finally stopped mine from coming back.
