Many of us have been through terrible hiring practices. And we're sharing them here. And when you give examples or critiques, we're critiquing them right back.

I've been around the block. I've done lots of interviews in tech. So have others here (naturally!). I've noped out of many for huge semaphore-sized red flags.

But the point stands - I'm not going to do "homework" without getting paid for it. I would much rather a sit-down with a fellow engineer and talk out problems. That shows the company is also willing to put time in as well.
