All that stuff is a red flag, man. I did a take-home project once. Lesson learned. Whiteboard quiz? Yep, had a few. Took a monumental amount of effort to fake giving a shit in those moments. I just say "I don't know" right away now to end it. No interest in faking anything.

Oddly enough, refusing to do the whiteboard dance has resulted in some poeple just dropping it and raving about how awesome I was. In truth, they were probably glad I bailed on it after poking holes in their pet problem they failed to vet properly.
