I see two problems with bringing in your code for an interview:
- I don’t know how long it took you to do it, and being able to do things in a reasonable amount of time is part of all jobs. Also, I don’t even know if you’re the one who wrote it or if you are passing off somebody else’s work
- it’s unstandardized across interviewees, so how do you compare? Person A wrote a more elegant solution, Person B solved a more challenging problem, and Person C did all their best work on propriety stuff they couldn’t share so they had to share show you a throwaway side project they did in one weekend
