That's not asking directly. It's vague. It's ambiguous. It's lazy. It's a cover for not having taken the time to prepare for the meeting (read: interview).

On the other hand, "I see Project X on your CV. Sounds interesting. Tell me more about that...." Is a legit question.

And no one expects every line of code to be looked at. That said, my CV has a section with links to repos. And yet I still get, "Can you send some links to code samples?"

Engineers with an aversion to questions? How about engineers who are tired of showing up to interviews and the hiring person/peoples are unprepared? The questions are a tell, a signal. And too often it's a tell with a smell. The aversion is to that smell.
