Yes, when you show a project, I don't want (nor have time) to think how you put something together. You need to show me. Call out a particular challenge and how you solved it is VERY interesting to me. Also, those coding challenges are a numbers game. Sometimes you get a good coding question, other times there's a dumb trick that you forgot about and the interviewer didn't like your choice of how you named your function. When I give live coding interviews, I don't really care about how well you code (somewhat), I want you to work with me and ask questions. I give bonus points for talking about telemetry, error handling, and cache improvements (etc).
