If it takes more than 2 hours, that's a no go for me. I have a Github account, a bunch of projects, and a portfolio. This and a little technical interview (at my current job I was asked about some Python things such as classes, inheritance, etc.) that would approve my portfolio and my knowledge should be enough imo.

I'd be happy to work (with the salary) on a company's side project for a while to demonstrate my knowledge, though. I guess that kinda replaces home exercises, but at least it feels like I'm contributing to the company and at this point I'd be more interested to provide better code quality because I already have a job and I want to keep it :)
