Even if anyone can, please don't (exception applies). Especially if you're a developer, 40+ hour a week will burn you out fast.

I don't have any issues with 40 hours a week. But at 40 I drop it all. Knowing I have the self discipline to do that, 40 is fine. I have had the "go ahead and fire me talk" with more than one manager.
