If I was asked to do 2-3 days worth of dev as part of my job application I would've walked away... I'm more than happy to do a few hours, but 2-3 days is just unfair for everyone involved.

But I agree that companies are setting the bar too high.

Remember that this was a simple project that would only take 3-5 hours, with OAuth, a few views, endpoints, testing, docker, etc....

And yeah, I'm being ironic.

To actually do 3-5 hours of work you, actually need to have 10 years of experience on your back realistically. All of those technologies cannot be learned and understood in one go. But yes with lots of practice and really focusing on the task at hand (no deviation from original requirements) you may do it.
