I expect IRS DirectFile to return and made permanent with recent Congressional regime change.

The PRs are mildly entertaining, as are all the ones they've closed. Doesn't seem to be run by someone who knows what they're doing?

Maybe their first exposure to Git? I only had ClearCase experience and was a noob when finally moving away from defense work.

I wouldn't be surprised . I worked as a developer placed at a state government agency. Many of the people who worked there seem to have no natural drive to do good work.

In the first PR:
https://github.com/IRS-Public/direct-file/pull/1

> because this is the first pull request and something many people will see, I would like to say that I learned from a former project manager at the IRS that development on Direct File has stopped since January. the source code is only public because of federal law. it's not likely that this is going to be merged but it's possible that the components of Direct File might be used elsewhere
