I don't know the details of your situation, but if your employer doesn't require 13 hour days, don't do it voluntarily. To say tech companies "let people work longer without compensation" is kind of shirking responsibility for your actions. If they didn't ask you to work all night, but you did anyway, who's fault is that?
Go home and contribute to an open source project or something. Unless you're at a tiny startup and getting tons of equity you're never going to be compensated for it, and it'll still be there tomorrow.
And if they do require 13 hour days, leave. The market for devs is too good right now to tolerate that.
