That person might be perfect for my job. I've been largely reading mountains of code that other people have written, until I understand what it does, and then make (usually small) changes in order to either fix a defect or add functionality.
I don't love it. Maybe the person you screened should be doing my job.
It could be an awful way of saying he prefers maintenance to new development.

Maybe he was an IT person who doesn't know what IT is called.
I phone screened somebody not so long ago who asked me if it was the "kind of job where you have to write a lot of code", because they "weren't that sort of software engineer". Didn't quite know what to make of that.
