It's a bit frustrating because different people react so strongly in both directions. I don't like live coding, but I'll be ecstatic with a pair programming session -- because I can evaluate them at the same time. Homework, I'm generally OK with, but I honestly hate it when you get a response like "We didn't like your code. Goodbye." On the other hand, I know some people who can't deal with the stress of writing code in an unfamiliar situation. I wonder if the best thing to do is to simply offer the candidate a choice.
