Started at a new employer few days ago. It all started with:

'To become familiar with our tech stack and projects we've assigned some tickets to you, 'some' of these are tickets others weren't able to finish'.

The tickets (12):

Status: stuck

    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

    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!

    @Demolishun That is what has been foretold about the fate of the one.

    @Demolishun unfortunately, yes. They hired me as a Frontend JavaScript developer but most of the work I did was PHP/yii
