Yes. If people talk enough they can’t help but share all the relevant details if you know enough about creating medium or large sized systems. Also I ask questions for stories about troubleshooting bugs, and when to log, some story when logs And I would rather hire someone that iterates well over the weeks or months time frame than can solve something quickly.

For newbies, it’s harder.

As a recent interviewee I can say that I'd be asked about code I was proud of. The last place I worked for was well-known enough or could be looked up easily and was small, so I explained what our main solution did, a particular issue we faced and how I planned and implemented a fix. Led to some good conversations with pseudocode, and didn't break any NDAs.
