At my work, we do 35 hour weeks in the summer, and it’s extremely nice. What ends up happening is I schedule all my appointments (doctor, car repair, etc) on the “summer Friday” afternoon, and keep my personal life moving along guilt free. During the rest of the year I just miss work for those appointments, which isn’t the end of the world, but I miss the guilt-free aspect of it. My gut feeling is that the dev team puts out the same volume of work per month in the summer as we do the rest of the year, but I don’t have any data to substantiate that.
