Problem solving as a good developer in my view is to take the full responsibility about the progress and their personal development. I know so many developers who need a ticket for everything since they are not able to take the responsibility and build up their own plans for the required solution

At my company we say everyone has a ceiling. It can take some months before you see it appear for a developer. Some developers never get past the "need a ticket for everything", while others develop the ability to see the bigger picture and can learn to properly manage projects. Others develop the ability to solve bugs quicker than most with certain tools and skills. Others get really good at one particular stack or language.
As a dev lead or project manager you'd need to get good at spotting their ceiling, so you know who you can rely on to do what tasks.
As they say, do not judge a fish's ability to climb a tree, but put him in the water and let him swim.
And of course you're gonna get those who like to pretend that "anyone can be good at anything" which is sort of possible, but do you want your team to be good at things, or great at them?
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
