I guess it will now be unassigned for the 9th time?
Since you are still in probation period why not look for something new? -
They just have a pool of unsolvable tickets they use for onboarding. That’s clever

bonus points if there are no logs, no steps to reproduce or the steps to reproduce dont reproduce the issue

Well, take your time, sift through the code, refactor and instrument, debug the hell out if that code base - and finish that cursed tickets. You are a developer after all.

@Demolishun Every true developer is "the one" when they come to a company which had no dev before. There is no unsolvable ticket. Some require extensive research and disciplined debugging. Some require serious interogation of the product owner and/or the users. But in the end you do solve them - one way or the other!

The tickets (12):
