I've never worked more than 10:30-5:30pm in a full-time job in this industry, and of those hours I'd say the real "work" part has generally never exceeded 4 hours/day. I don't even think it's really possible to do more than 4 hours/day of deeply focused, productive coding.
The job is not really stressful because at the end of the day, it's just software. Unless you're working on life-critical medical stuff or something, if the site goes down, nobody dies. Also I've never had an on-call job.
Name me an industry that pays more with less work and less stress.
