I don't want to straw man you, but it seems like hiring someone who is demonstrably better at programming under pressure would mitigate the inevitable situations that force employees to program under pressure.

Conversely - the person who feels like he's good at programming under pressure might consider it no big deal and not bother to mitigate any potential "programming under pressure later" possibilities.
