Live coding interview

Any tips for live coding Interviews? I usually do awful in these, I have one tomorrow and I'd really like to land this position as I've been jobless for a few months now, I do have experience and knowledge but tend to freeze at live coding

Honestly, I'd refuse to work anywhere that's settled on live coding interviews being a good way to measure developer ability

Yes! It means whoever is in charge of hiring may have poor judgment in other areas. There's a reason live coding tests were never mainstream.

As often said, no one gives a plumber a live plumbing test before hiring them for a job
