I suggest to steer conversation on how end customers / end users benefited from your work. Example: "More sales due to improved experience and better user interface", "Higher rankings due to ....whatever work you did...", etc... This basically helps you to escape (but not guarantee) stupid low level conversations on deep technical bits. Convey that your work and experience helps to boost company business and it's relationship with paying customers vs. "I have N years of experience and know X and can also do Y". Company is investing in you and want to understand their return on investment. My suggestion works better when having conversation with higher level, intelligent decision making person vs. low level technical idiot manager armed with stupid coding puzzles, but worth trying anyways.
