The easy answer you might not like: interview at small places that don't have a lot of existing technical experience and don't pay very well. I've had 3 jobs now at small agencies (3-4 devs) that paid under $100k and none of them required any sort of technical interview. One looked at a project I had on Github and asked me to talk about it for a bit. Another just hired me without any real proof of my ability, just what I said I could do. Another just asked general interview questions. If you're fine building CRUD apps all day every day for sometimes pretty dumb projects with often dumb technology choices and no opportunity for upward advancement, it's a fine job.
