"Let me talk to your biz people to see if I'm the right person to solve your problems, and let the technical folk go over code I've written and we can deep dive on that if there is any question about my chops."

I feel you here.

With becoming longer of tooth (in the trade) comes an understanding of how to contribute value via the multitude of avenues that are not just grinding out lines at the keyboard.

I am surprised over and over at the incandescently bright young people who can wax lyrical about monad transformers, but to whom it does not occur to model a domain properly before cutting code, or who lack basic schema design and/or SQL knowledge.

I am also in the boat of having vanishingly few technical interviews in recent years, but on a good deal of those occasions it has been obvious that the interviewer is just so not the person I should be talking to.
