I was on a phone interview where my anxiety crossed a threshold and my brain just shut down. I literally could not comprehend the code I had just written. For a few minutes, I forgot how to program. I've programmed for 21 years professionally, across many languages, but still fell apart. I recovered after about 5-10 minutes, but at that point it was too late. A couple hours later I went back and breezed through the problem, wrote a few test cases, and ran them without issues.
