I feel the time limit is usually the most ridiculous part.

I enjoy solving hard problems as much as any other engineer, or I wouldn't be in this field. But if you want to judge me on code quality, expressiveness, architecture, and test coverage, in addition to performance and correctness, you should really give me enough time to review, refactor and test my code to cover all of those criteria. You know, time that any responsible engineer would spend on any piece of code they write before sending it off to production.

If the position does actually involve writing production-ready solutions to hard algorithms problems within ridiculous time limits like 1 hour, let me know beforehand so I have the chance disqualify myself from it, and we can both avoid wasting any more time with each other.
