I am SO HAPPY to hear that this is how you are doing your interview! My first ever dev job interview I brought in my own code for a project I was working on. I spent most of the interview walking the 3 dev guys through how it worked, what I wanted to cleanup, what I wanted to add, etc. Part of it even broke when I was showing them some functionality, it was mortifying! I got so nervous, but we ended up pairing to fix the bug and I ended up getting the job! 😃
I know you are worried, but I guarantee working with your own code is going to be so much nicer than if they were asking you to sit down and write it from scratch. Keep in mind they are not looking for perfection, they likely just want to see how you work and think through things.
Thank you! Your story is very encouraging! :) It's just my fear of being not good enough talking too loudly in my head: "What if the code is soooo bad they are going to feel embarrassed on my behalf?" 😅
