Man I just joined a new company, super disorganized like no ticketing, don't know what I'm supposed to do/when. I think my manager is new. Oh well I'm grateful for the job. I at least have self-awareness (like someone else mentioned below) about not sh*tting on everything existing. No PRs, No tests, Code barely works from master, no docs how to get started, that's the kind of environment I'm in so it's not like it's not warranted but yeah. There's freedom in it too that's nice but I'm not used to it (defined tasks).

Edit: side note, other thing I don't like about this place, everybody's so separated, there are community events like happy hour (beer on tap) but in general everybody's in their cubicle/area and only talk to their small team. Idk why I care but yeah. In the past I'd have buddies to chat with in slack/teams but right now it's just me and my manager/co-developer. That's a weird dynamic too when you aren't sure how friendly/buddy buddy you can be with your manager/co-dev.

Do your best I'd say. Don't pitch anything half-baked but your environment is ripe for earning understanding. Recalibrate often.

Sounds like an environment where you should not ask for permission and just implement whatever you need to be efficient. Ask for forgiveness instead.

I would implement the bare minimum of what I need (probably unit tests, integration tests, branching, some kind of DevOps, wiki, auto-generated testspec/test report).

It's interesting my manager is also a developer (we work on the same project). Possible I'm one of his first underlings. But yeah we get heated when we talk it sucks. I don't know what is considered done. Tasks usually have a defined goal. I sound dumb asking so I guess I'll just do. I'm not a newbie I'm more mid but not senior. I have the years but self esteem wise I don't consider myself a senior, still doubts. I will see how it goes, I really need to stay here a while and get out of debt.
