OK, this didn't actually happen. But it's true - one of the major problems with junior folks is trying to live up to some mythical expectation.
A junior sees something that looks easy, and they think "this will be easy - two weeks."
A senior sees something that looks easy, and says "if it was ACTUALLY easy, someone else would have already done it. Six months to never."
It just takes time and experience to learn how fragile and finite we are.
