This can be said of all interviews, not just tech. It’s hard for great many people to put themselves out there. I mean interview itself is a performance, isn’t it?

Having said that communication and interpersonal skills are big part of most jobs even in tech. We hardly develop software in isolation these days.

I don’t know about other industries, but in Tech there are some really inexperienced interviewers out there, who’re impulsive and lacks discipline in conducting objective and meaningful assessment.
