I am sorry you had to go through that, it sound truly awful. I however get so many applicants that I need to reject the majority, and that is about the simplest initial litmus test I can think of. I am rather confident that the majority are not panicking, and those that are get significant slack - I'd rather spend 10 minutes more establishing some trust and comfort if they express the need to me, than outright dismiss them. I'm too emphatic for anything less. If it's any comfort, stage fright is something you can overcome. It's not easy, but it's doable.

yeah I'm not sure if it's really stage fright. I am familiar with stage fright and I hate giving presentations and similar things. At any rate I'm not saying it isn't the case that some of the people who are bad in the interview are actually bad, I just wonder how accurate the whole X% of applicants can't code really is. At any rate I do pretty well for myself and while it was unpleasant, it is past, just - made me wonder.
