Guide to getting your FERS contribution refund for former 18F employees

For best results, all forms mentioned below must be printed out, filled out and signed in ink, and mailed directly to OPM at the following address:

U.S. Office of Personnel Management
Attn: Federal Employee Retirement System 
Post Office Box 45
Boyers, PA 16017-0045

In order to send directly to OPM, you must wait 30 days after your last day at GSA. However, because part of the process requires you to mail some forms to your financial institution and wait for them to send them back, you can start the process about 15 days after your last day.

Code Climate guidelines

If PR is urgent, ask a GitHub repo admin to approve in Code Climate, then immediately fix the offenses. Don't open a new ticket.
If PR is not urgent, take the time to understand the issue and fix it, unless it's a false positive.
Walk through reading up on offense in CC

PAIN

Code is complicated and takes a long time to understand
We don't build new features as often as we want
We have so many bugs that we needed to establish a BAT team to keep track of them. They aren't even getting fixed at the moment. https://martinfowler.com/articles/is-quality-worth-cost.html

DREAM

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to quickly make changes and add new features?
Wouldn't it be nice for new team members to jump in to the code faster?
