Junior dev saw it as “we can do it ourselves” until they were reminded that time is limited and we have to choose what we do with it. Then they almost seemed to have a transformation/realization in that moment, but the unexpected twist was that they were still trying to take both paths, instead of picking one, which we all know means they won’t get the best of either. Or maybe they’re just coyly accepting the other path while trying to keep up the original appearance.
