If they hired you and determined in 2 weeks you were a bad fit that proves they are shitty at selecting employees. If I were you I would do a couple of things before I beat myself up - if you experience this kind of thing at your next job then perhaps I'd worry, but 2 weeks at one company? (1) - Do a little research on the company (glassdoor tends to be negative but still worth looking into, google the company and see what other people's experience has been). (2) - Do some freelance work and see what the feedback is from who you do work for. What feedback did you get in the 2 weeks you were there?

What do you mean with what feedback I got from them? They were a couple of guys working remotely over the internet. We were working with some rails apps and communicating over Skype/teamspeak. I've done pairing with some of them and things were going well, I wish I had more time to learn more about their apps though. I've participated in all/most meetings and was always communicative. I wasn't afraid to say I needed help when I needed it but I also tried to do things on my own. Sure I might have made some mistakes because I was new (who's perfect?) but then again I'm disappointed I was fired in week 2. Let me know if you have more questions.
