Sure, why not offer an option. But I'm convinced that take home tasks are generally better because that's much closer to the way you actually work as a programmer. People who don't get nervous during live coding might like take home tasks because it's more of a time sink, but I'd wager that they still do good on them.
- LocalPCGuy 4y agoThere are a lot of problems with take-home assignments in general and I feel like it discounts that to just say "they are better generally". I disagree with that statement both personally, as an interviewer, and in reading others' anecdotal experiences. It is better "for some people some of the time", but I firmly disagree that can be generalized to a best practice.
