I have worked on systems that could cause operator death or disfigurement or damage... they are tested quite thoroughly in general and have reasonable failsafes and redundancy. It's not like they are coded on a whiteboard. being on site at a customer facility while there is a ton of noise does stress you out a bit but most of the coding and testing is done in the office. > That's a high-pressure situation, so if you're hiring for that, it might make sense to interview under pressure. I think the jobs that have that kind of pressure are rare and interviewing like that should be the exception not the norm.
