I don't mind solving fizzbuzz, I don't mind take home assignments.
They don't know me and besides my CV they have to see that I can write code or see that I can use a computer. I can invest up to 2h into some task if I am switching jobs and offer/company is interesting for me.
For some specialistic roles I don't mind questions about specific technologies, just keep in mind that for example "Web Development" spans so many topics that we might have vastly different experience and questions that you ask or the way you ask them might not connect to my experience.
That is why it should be more of a discussion to try to find out common understanding than grill:quizz, shooting question and 0.5s answer.
