And don't forget, that study gave the AVERAGE work week. I'm not a developer myself, I'm a sysadmin, but I work for development companies. The programmers working fewer hours, generally speaking, are the junior developers. The better the developer, and the more senior they are, the more hours they work. Several of the programmers at my company work 60 hours a week, some work 70, and one or two actually regularly work 80 hours a week.
The only people here who work 40 hours per week are the administrative assistants, the junior level IT technicians, and the most junior developers.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
