Yeah, in our case the point isn't really the code, but how you reason around it. How able are you to explain the flow of the code. And also reason about choices made.

There is a real treasure trove of things to talk about.

Questions like: - Why is it like Y? - What is good and bad about Y? - Why do you think X would be better? - Why did you end up doing Y instead of X? - How would you approach changing it to X?

Discussions like these on both a macro and micro level is very valuable.
