I would hold off on adding code to a resume. Typically a hr-type person will screen a resume for keywords/skills. Since they are not technical they will not understand the code you are writing or even be able to tell what language it is in. You may- want to have some available for a second round interview or demonstartions of projects that you have done. If you are lacking "beef" try joining an open source/non-profit project and using that for beef. Working with others definitely helps and may give you additional skills that you didn't even know you had.
