I'm sure it depends on industry, but in my industry there is no way showing someone code during an interview would fly. Zero chance.

A programmer who decided on their own to show our code to someone without nda and a confidentiality agreement would be at best severely chastised and no longer trusted with anything important or dismissed.

But, your mileage may vary - every place is different.

Yeah at my firm an interviewer getting access to and sharing code would go further than dismissal and result in unlocking the cages of the attack lawyers. They may or may not be turned loose but that’s def a DEFCON 2 event.
