Take-home coding tests are sold as “the best way” to evaluate developers. In reality, they waste enormous amounts of time, don’t reflect real teamwork, and often lead nowhere.
In this video, I share my experience as a senior front-end engineer:
• Why these assignments rarely match real-world projects.
• The hidden 20–30 hour time sink nobody talks about.
• The impact on families, work-life balance, and job searches.
• How I push back or reframe these tests to make them worth the effort.
I’ve been through multiple hiring processes across the U.S. and Europe, and I want to start an honest conversation about how we can make technical interviews fairer and more realistic.
What’s been your worst experience with a take-home? Drop it in the comments.
