At one of my first jobs, the codebase was massive and feature flags were heavily used. My first task given by my boss was to remove flags that have been enabled in all environments for a while. Great and engaging way to introduce someone to a new codebase, it's relatively easy and can be done with little assistance right of the bat, you also get to commit code in your first days and it reduces tech debt making everyone happy.

Been doing that with my new hires in other jobs.
