It's a constant tug of war between standards and expectations. I personally prefer hypotheticals, or some variant on live pair programming. Also, as someone with enough free time to do take-homes, I also prefer code reviews over that one-off code which then becomes a case of 100% "I did this and here's why". Even with that last example I would say, "well to optimize, etc., we could do this".
