like every other developer ever, i have often been asked to do coding tests for a job interview.

like every other developer ever, i have often been asked to do coding tests for a job interview. personally, i think ten to twenty hours of work is reasonable, if it's a place i really want to work. what i have a problem with is companies that want you to do the coding test before they've even talked to you. i may rule them out as a potential employer as part of that process, in which case it would be a waste of time.
