Those at a high-growth startup or other such scenario, I understand there's intrinsic motivation/expectation to make as much progress as possible. But that's a particular type of role. As well as contractors with multiple gigs, and anyone side-hustling, I imagine odd working hours are common.

Those making a reasonable salary as a full-time developer, do you regularly work nights/weekends for that employer? Do you do it because you enjoy the work? Do you do it because you feel obligated? I'm just trying to get a sense of what people do, in various types of roles. Maybe you work nights/weekends, but take time during weekdays for yourself.
