I think couple things about interviews I've come to realise is this.

1. DO NOT get emotionally involved or excited about an opportunity till the time you see an offer letter - those reeeallly sweet people that are so happy and courteous and smiley will switch in an instant, snap! throw you out faster than a used disposable cup and will not so much as give you the courtesy of a reply. They don't give flying f about you no matter how many hours they themselves invested in the process. See for them, this is paid work to talk to you, so they don't give a shit they do it for 10 hours and still drop you without even sending you an email. You are working for free during the interview process and have much more at stake in this process than the person you are talking to. You feel you're having a genuine human interaction with them? no. You think it went well because objectively it went really well? Don't worry you'll get a 2 line generic rejection email.

2. DO NOT ever gauge your self worth as a developer to passing or failing an interview - you will destroy your own morale. Take hints and learn to be better, no doubt, but the decisions people make about you sometimes don't have anything to do with you specifically so don't take it to heart too much.

The problem is if you don't get emotionally involved you'll definitely lose at least some level of emotional boost & interest. That also could be noticed & mentioned in one of the reviews.

There is no ultimate solution, it always depends on specific person you're talking to
