Wow. That is nuts.
The thing is, for technical jobs like the ones folks at Hacker News tend to have, I find almost no difference in my output between 30 and 40 hour weeks. 30 hours / week I'm more mentally / physically refreshed and better able to problem-solve, so I get my work done faster.
The only advantage to a full-time schedule is that it's easier to coordinate / follow-up with other people.
