I'm sorry this happened to you.

And lots of good developers skew anxious! What in normal life counts as being overly careful or or overly sensitive is just good practice in coding.

That's why I think it's especially important to make interviews as low-anxiety as possible. They'll always be worse than the job, of course, but the closer you get them, the more you're likely to see how people will really perform on the job.

The curse of the engineer, always looking at the worst possible outcome :) I have to work hard not to bring this into my non-work life.
