I want you guys to know that there are a number of people, such as myself, who overwhelmingly prefer coding assignments over whiteboarding, tech Q&A, or rattling off a string of accomplishments that are already covered in the resume.
It would be nice if devs were paid a modest sum ($75 Amazon Gift Card) for completing them. However, I never view them as a waste of my time because I always shoehorn some tech, tool, library, etc. that I've been meaning to study anyway. Also, if it doesn't work out, after some slight refactoring I now have another open-source project on github.
Also, I only do coding assignments for companies that I have targeted and have a desire to work for. In that way, it works as a handy filter. This is especially important for remote positions.
