I’ve always hated programming exercises live during an interview. Way I dealt with it typically was taking notes about it after (so that if you see something similar in a different interview later, you can be better prepared for it). Doing various interviews coding exercises helps a little too.
This is a good point. Being interviewed is a learnt skill. You get better at it by doing more of them. I always advise people to start a job search by going on a couple of interviews that you're not that interested in.
