I really like coding challenges when they're done in a productive way:

- Short and fully automated, for instance to skip an initial technical screening;

- Longer, but leading to a follow-up interview.

It's a tool, it can be misused. Be respectful and both parties can benefit from it.

It's like whiteboarding: I don't enjoy companies that expect me to have seen the problem already and regurgitate the answer, but it can be a pleasant experience too.
