I have never been a fan of the take home development test when your interviewing for a job. After hiring over the last few years I see the importance now. What are some good problems to include when creating a take home project? I assume something technically related to our product or space, but do you make them start from scratch or give them a broken app and have them fix it?
I got my first job with a take home project and I'm kinda terrible at programming trivia so I sort of like them.<p>Mine was from scratch and was a vague outline of an application and left room for me to make many decisions, add things, but still get the gist of the goal done.<p>The end product didn't have to be fully functioning, but just showed how it would work, etc.
