Take home projects strike me as an overcorrection for the perceived problems with whiteboard interviews. Drawing from a recent sample of interviews, companies that ask for them still seem to be in the minority. I hope this remains the case, as 1) they are an enormous time suck for the applicant, and 2) demonstrate abilities that a qualified applicant could become proficient at quickly. Qualification for a position requiring these abilities can be assessed in a way that is not so one-sided against the applicant.
