What are your thoughts about 'homework' during the hiring process?

I walk away if they won't compensate me. Not worth my time or the time of any engineer.
Usually the tasks are remedial like "visualize this api using x tech with y library". Things that you have 10+ github projects posted that could easily be used as a reference.
The interview process has not once proceeded when I refused a task on the basis of already having an example of the requested posted. If that isn't a sign of things to come to you, I don't know what would be.

What do you do to find organizations that won't waste professional time in the hiring process?
I 100% agree with you. The writing is on the wall.

In sales the idea is to give the 'what' but sell the 'how'. Why is it accepted that giving away the how to potentially get value in return is standard in engineering?
I'm baffled by the disconnect between the competitive battlefield of the talent environment and the entitlement to time in the hiring process.
