There’s a fair number of people who work weekends voluntarily - I’ve even gotten bug reports on odd days when corporate is shut down like Dec. 26th.
My manager and some on my team at Apple generally discouraged me from working on weekends - I’ve worked some on weekends mainly to de-risk accomplishing certain tasks due to me being in an optimal state to tackle some issues & having some spare time. Occasionally I have to fix operations issues on weekends too, but those get resolved generally pretty quickly.
All in all it’s a YMMV situation. Most people in my org keep to normal hours, have same development timelines, and are pretty happy (no yelling/screaming, most operate somewhere in the 10-4 time range give or take, 5 days a week).
