Yes I recently changed to a 4 day job with higher pay. Right now I have a week off while taking up only two vacation days, because I worked the last two Fridays. Pretty neat.
It's pretty common in Europe I would say. In Germany you even have a right to reduce your hours after half a year of working somewhere, and your employee has to accept it unless they have a very good reason to reject it (e.g. it would be devastating for the company).
Good software developers are still scarse and lots of companies are competing for them, so generally companies are very accomodating for these wishes.
I said working 4 days does not necessarily make me less productive. And on top I use the extra time I have to become better at my work and contribute to open source (which is true).
