It’s not free work.

No company gets candidates to do coding tests as a way to get productive real world tasks completed.

Just don’t do it when a companies test task is too onerous.

I work and don't get paid... It's free work. whether it gets used or not by them, I spent my time doing a task that was directed for me. That's work.
