I've personally interviewed over 500 people in my career, and engineers with code (no matter the quality) stand out over those without.
I've also been interviewed in the past, where the entirety of the interview was just chatting with the hiring manager. One of these resulted in an accepted offer. After starting with the company, my manager asked for feedback on the interview. I explained that I thought it was weird to have so little technical discussion and still receive an offer. He explained that I had so much quality stuff online that he knew he'd extend the offer even before talking with me, and that the interview was more of a formality. It ended up being one of the cooler jobs I've had.
So I couldn't agree more with this post!
