Process
Recruiter screen -> Takehome
Takehome said to take 2-4 hours, but it definitely takes closer to 4 or more. This is because they want abstraction, unit testing, a fleshed-out README, etc.
If the abstraction doesn't match their vision of what it should look like, you're rejected.
Avoid unless you're willing to waste 4+ hours for nothing.
Questions
Takehome, like everyone else said here, is reading and parsing rows off of a CSV.
