I wish everybody would start just refusing to do these homework assignments. I always do. I think they know they lost a great developer when I just walk away. In a way it's just sort of them getting what they deserve (loss of a great worker), but if developers would just simply refuse these homework assignments, everybody would be better of. Homework is a stupid waste of time for young children, and it is as stupid silly waste of time for job candidates also.

I have to concur with this. The interview process in tech seems like a hazing ritual, at times. In the current market, we should be able to use our leverage, as talent, to bring about some change in hiring practices.
