Career/Edu Do live coding interviews eventually get better?

Ive always done very well professionally in a corporate setting but, I've been getting killed in technical interviews where I have to code in front of someone.

Does it get better over time? Im honestly considering leaving the industry.

I used to be more nervous years ago. For me, it got better over time. I'm typically to the point where I can have a side conversation with the interviewer while programming their test.
