I read the grandparent as: The task should take 2-4h and be done within 2-4 days is how I read it.
I’m still not sure why people expect it’s easy to fit this in and it’s the last thing you want to do after a hard day of work.
I’ve just started taking a full day off for programming exercises I do when interviewing. It allows me to give well thought through and tested solutions even if I make some small mistakes or misunderstandings. Crazy I know but necessary usually these days.

- andy_ppp 7y agoI think it’s badly worded and you can read how I parsed it in my comment, it’s a guess, but otherwise the rest of the comment makes zero sense.
- ambicapter 7y agoThey tell the interviewee that, the the given task actually takes 2-4 hours in-house.
- grogenaut 7y agoThis is why I only do these for exceptional offers. Like a studio I wanted to work at and a problem that seemed challenging. Otherwise it's a strict decline.
