Yeah, this is the biggest problem I have with it. I try to be conscious of this, and try to keep things pretty lighthearted. If I notice someone getting nervous, a "you're doing great for time" usually calms them. If not, I do follow up interview, if they did well seeking an understanding the problem, and could explain it verbally. I've had a few people pass with flying colors after a second round.
> and that's a good angle to approach their GitHub profile
I disagree here, with the (probably wrong) assumption that not having a GitHub profile adds a negative bias. Some people put their coding hours into work, with different lives outside of coding. All of the colleagues I've known with impressive GitHub profiles burnt out/left. Battle stories can be within corporate repos.
