As an applicant, I've personally had a mixed experience with take-homes. We're designing the technical interviews right now, and I thought I'd ask for some stories on exciting take-home tasks. We're looking for something that resembles the actual job, so we'll allow any tool (including AI and debuggers).

Also curious to hear about any bad ones you've done.

recently i was given 72 hours for a take home. they required me to keep the “challenge” confidential and assign the rights to the code to them. i’m wondering what you all think of that.

How generic was the challenge?

In the sense of would this be a problem that might reasonably come up in the course of working elsewhere ... and how comprised would you be had it done so given you'd seen it before and signed right to your solution elsewhere.
