Its incredibly frustrating to be in a room with someone who will pop whatever random trivia they want at you and watch you struggle against artificial constraints to appease them.

I'm loathing the potential need to ever eventually interview for a tech position because even on trivial things like Error trait impls in Rust I end up opening 3+ pages of documentation to verify I knew what I was doing at least, or often figure out better solutions with methods not on my brains hot path of solving the problem.

Theres nothing pleasant about having your tools taken away from you and then being looked down at when you are like a fish out of water. The OP even talks about it when describing the drain of technical interviews - nobody wants to be judged upon at their worst by strangers. Its humiliating.
