Remove some/most/all of the hindrances to running a business and hiring employees (convoluted and rage-inducing tax and HR regulations) so that more businesses would be willing and able to launch, expand, and hire. That would create jobs, including probably thousands of coding jobs.
As someone who's just spent the past few months dealing with year-end paperwork at the city, state, federal and corporate level (the paperwork required to set up a 401(k) is incredible), I can honestly say paperwork required to start up and run a business is not a hinderance to starting up and running a business.
What is a hinderance? Finding talent. What would make that easier? Universal healthcare. More retirement security. A better education system. More open borders. Those three items would lead to a more fluid and talented work force, which is exactly what I need.
Removing paperwork? Meh. Yes, I wish the state of CA was less inept and more streamlined, and I wish setting up a business took only one click on a website. But the paperwork and regulations certainly are not preventing me from continuing with my business, and some of them are at least helping ensure I live the lifestyle that I do.
