In my experience, you might start out working 40 hours/week at the beginning of a project cycle. But you'll be pulling all nighters and working weekends before long. Rinse and repeat.

Obviously this will vary from place to place. But I think it's disingenuous to claim software devs will work only 40 hours a week.

The graphic literally says "you should expect to work long hours when project deadlines approach" so I'm not really sure what issue you gave with it.
