Homework
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
Work assigned outside live interview time, often as a take-home coding task, design exercise, or written prompt in a hiring process. In tech culture the term often carries debate about candidate time burden, fairness, and signal quality.
In plain English: A take-home task someone is expected to complete outside the main interview or class time.
Example: "I don’t mind a small exercise, but six hours of interview homework is unreasonable."
