For me it is approachability and not intimidating by how much coding you do outside of work. I felt like was gonna be fired every day cause my lead would do some crazy shit on his free time with JS, css, and math. I think maybe coding stuff should only be shown off if it's relevant to what's going on or for help. You can tell me all day you don't know something, but when you shows off advanced mathematic calculations using raw JavaScript to draw dynamic maps for a game you made as a "side project," I'm always gonna think you take your job too seriously. The best lead codes because they're paid. They don't care about the hardcore "best practices" stuff because it really does not matter. Understanding how to do the job does.
