Australia finally solves the tech employment crisis.

OpenAI hacks Centrelink.

New policy:

If you can actually code, you automatically qualify for the dole — plus free compute credits.

Suddenly thousands of highly skilled engineers escape the corporate monoculture, cancel six recurring Jira meetings, uninstall Teams, and begin building software from their spare rooms.

No quarterly OKRs.
No “AI transformation strategy.”
No architecture committee deciding whether a cron job requires Kubernetes.
No manager asking for a PowerPoint explaining why the compiler is upset.

Just rent assistance, GPU credits, an Erlang shell, and complete domestic technological independence.

Centrelink accidentally becomes Australia's largest startup incubator.

The unemployed are shipping.
The employed are in meetings.

Productivity statistics become extremely confusing.
