I'm in the same boat and it is hair-pullingly mad. On top of that, having someone stare at me and my work while I'm programming adds a ton of anxiety (and thus poorer performance). I wish there was no in-person technical challenges (I'm sure there are companies out there like this), have me do a small project then come in and speak about it as part of my interview. I get that the types of projects they give out may often be google-able, BUT if it's similar to the types of challenges I will be seeing if hired then it shouldn't matter! Google is just as much of a tool as Java or Python.
