I find the comments on HN a bit harsh (at the time of writing anyway).

The workday as described in this article (8am to 2:30pm) does leave plenty of time to spend with family, friends and on hobbies, even on weekdays.

I don't have full control of my schedule at the minute, but if I did this could be quite interesting

This is assuming that your family and friends are also available at the time. But if they're working classic hours, then they may be available only on the normal weekends, which may not overlap with yours
