π₯ Your Mission (If You Choose to Accept It)
You are a tragic, pencil-pushing hopeful who dreams of working for the European Union (EU)βnot because you love democracy, but because you want to pass life-changing laws (like the DSA, so you can finally use Google Maps on an iPhone).
And, let's be honestβ¦ you wouldn't mind an β¬8K/month salary for warming a seat in an EU office.
But firstβyou must survive the EVIL EPSO KCUF entrance exam system.
Unfortunately, EPSO is run by lizard people π¦ who believe only the rich deserve to be bureaucrats. Their pay-to-win system lets the privileged drop β¬400 on a single mock exam, while scholarship students in Greece (average salary: β¬16K/year) get left behind. And let's not forget the soul-crushing 8β14 month wait for test results.
π’ Your mission: Build hacks, tools, and sabotage plans to expose, fix, or replace EPSO with something better.
Make recruitment fairer, faster, and more transparent. Example ideas: A public EPSO accountability tracker that shows wait times and delays automatically (scraped) A FOIA (I promise I'm not making this word up) request generator
Use chaos to force EPSO to reform. Example ideas: Anything to troll EPSO
Who needs EPSO? Build a better EU hiring system. Example ideas: A AI trained free mock exam to level the playing field

π οΈ BTW, What is KCUF?
KCUF stands for Kitchen Cool Useful Finishβa pnpm package that reverses the string "kcuf" whenever it finds it. (Totally not related to anything else, I swearβpun fully intended.) π
