To add to this, it's being able to write code on a whiteboard in a high pressure situation while talking about every step you're taking. Over time I've gotten more comfortable with this, but mainly by doing more interviews, not by getting better at my job.

When I was younger, this would probably make me feel insufficient but I have done enough ‘learning stuff’ by now that I expect this kind of comfort to only come with experience.
