Do you have a list of companies where employees code for a paycheck? Is it broadly, any company where technology is the main driver of revenue. I imagine coding for lifestyle values penetrate in these companies too.
Look for startups that have been bought by a big corp or startup style orgs spun out of a big corp. they typically combine the perks/permissiveness/culture of a startup with the benefits/lifestyle/pay of a big corp. very relaxing combo.
Another good option is a uni gig in their tech department. You’ll have to put up with absolutely scads of incompetence, probably a change control board, crap pay plus you’ll get pay freezes during downturns, but the lifestyle and benefits are absurdly good — I know people who show up for a couple meetings in the morning, leave for a three hour lunch and then go home every day — and you’ll usually be getting a pension. Highly recommend going this route when you’ve made your egg and are ten years out from retirement.

In which country is this? Where I live now in Europe I've never seen jobs that let you get away with that. Maybe those people you know are well connected with the bosses that they're allowed such lax work behavior.
