Question about a driveway job that went bad fast

Saw a neighbor's new driveway go from smooth to spiderwebbed in under a week. The crew poured on a Friday afternoon that was way too hot, like 95 degrees, and didn't use any evaporation retarder. Has anyone else had a slab crack that quickly from heat issues?

My uncle's concrete guy always pours in summer heat. Says it cures stronger and faster that way, and some surface cracks are totally normal.

Yeah, but those cracks can let water in and wreck it later.

Actually, summer heat can make it crack more if you don't water it right.
