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?
