Sounds like you don't want to work at a company that values quality. Your stance is like writing critical code and not putting any unit tests on it and skipping the code review too. Trust but verify is a good thing.

Instead of you saying what I value, I will tell it myself :
I prioritize my own needs over a random company's needs.
I prioritize my own time over "efficiency" for a random company.
I work with companies that understand that.
What do you do sir?

Totally agree with a good work life balance but it's a balance and not just ignoring company needs. If an applicant can't get through the code challenge then they certainly won't get through an actual work challenge. Like, why would the company give someone a 130k salary if they can't spend 2 hours on a skill check?
