It is absolutely insulting to someone who can prove a substantial history of productive software to ask them to spend hours doing trivial brain teasers for them. If you have open source projects under your ownership or substantial contributorship that the company you are applying for is using and they still treat you like a wet graduate coming off a brief affair with Java Swing you should feel insulted.
