I delivered more than one feature, not sure how many, maybe 3 or 4 features, without knowing the codebase at all, and the applications were government related applications, so they were large applications.
I never worked with government applications before and that domain is new to me, I think I have a decent understanding of how Rails works so I'm not sure what the problem really was.
They blamed me for asking questions, I did a bit of pairing with some members of their team.
In the end, I was fired, and the excuse was that I wasn't productive, but how I'm going to be productive in a very short timeframe without them letting me learn about their application first?
It's tough.
