Eh, lots of stuff can be easy to learn, difficult to master.

Most languages only take a few minutes to do a “hello world” app.

When you announce you’re comfortable with something, it probably depends on the scale of the apps you’re used to working on.

So a junior dev could very well feel they’ve learned something like react after two days of cramming.

This is a good point imo. They just don’t know the breadth of it yet. Being experienced also means getting a grasp of the amount of stuff you don’t yet know.
