I just don't do them at all. It sets bad terms for the employer / employee relationship IMHO. I realize some devs just aren't that in demand yet and may have to subject themselves to this, but you should do your damndest once you get the job to build the skills not to have to stand for it in your next one.

Indeed. I've offered them before to people who were borderline - i.e. in the interview they didn't really shine but I wanted to give them a chance to redeem themselves. Goes either way really.
