On the other hand, as someone currently looking for my first dev job, I'd /much/ rather have a take home code challenge, where I can work at my usual pace, with my usual tools, without stress than have to do a code challenge while someone hovers over my shoulder. The take homes have been time intensive - I would say the average one has taken about 15 hours to do, but I feel they much better reflect my ability to code than real time nervous coding.
