I've seen so many posts about interview rants, including one I wrote myself, that I feel like the problem lies in the higher demand than supply of positions, and that interviews, not matter what bad feedback they seem to give, aren't that poorly designed.

You raise a valid point. Back in the old dotcom days, a body that could this thing called HTML got a job. While it seems we are in a tech boom (based on stories of 150K salaries in SF, oodles of stock options at established social media companies, etc.), perhaps we aren't. In the NYC area, my jaw has dropped when I see the large number of smallish startups working from co-working spaces. Are these people who shunned lucrative jobs or just couldn't get one?
