In the early days of Heroku, the founders had the same equitable investment from all participants approach to interviewing. I loved it. It really forced me to reconsider a lot of very standard hiring practices. It didn’t prevent take home coding challenges. But your never, as a hiring manager, going to spend 4 hours reviewing each submission. How much are you going to spend? 30mins? Ok, then the assignment can only be expected to take at most 30mins to complete. The hiring process we had there had its own problems and biases. I did love this simple heuristic for quickly assessing what was fair though.
