I just want to see that they can write code and that it isn't awful. When looking at their code you can get a feeling if you would want that person mucking around on your project. If the person is passionate about programming they will have code they are proud of and that can be the start of a conversation.

This statement works better as a negative. If a person is not passionate they will not have such code but a passionate person can have many reasons that they might not as well.
