If you want to do it for junior developers, fine, but as a senior dev, I'm not doing any take home assignment. It's an immediate pass from me. There is very little possibility that you can glean anything from my code other than picking apart it for code review bullshit. I'm not going to waste 2 to 6 hours on this - done it before, never again.

Everybody is different.
