Yeah, totally agree.

Deadline stress more often involves doing research and making decisions quicker, and then putting in the effort to write the code in a more efficient manner to get it done on time.

Interview stress is more just like "Fuck, fuck, fuck, am I doing this the optimal way? Is my thought process here really stupid? Should I make an assumption/decision here or ask for clarification? Would they rather me be more thorough or more self-sustaining? Fuck, I have to do this in 10 minutes? And with no Google/SO?" etc...
