Perhaps its an internet company thing? Maybe a California/SV thing? I don't know of anybody asking for this.(Located East Coast and rural). The company I work for is on linkedin and has gotten resumes from it before, although none good enough for an interview. They have never asked any candidates for any outside information like that. Describe the design and code for a project is a standard interview question, but even then only for people just out of college. The type of work we do though doesn't require cutting edge coding skills, though. I guess we look for people who can really think through things and come up with a good design. I think evaluating this is easier in interview discussions than looking at code, especially if the evaluator has never thought about the problem before.
