Agree, though sometimes the hours of head banging will benefit greatly to the skills of said junior.

That aside, everyone should be encouraged to ask to company's developer forum (slack channel). That way, if the senior that's responsible to train the junior is busy, other less busy senior can help.

Reminds me of when I blew up on my partner when I told her I'm not going to tell her how to switch from Playstation to Roku on the TV for the 1000th time. She spent 2 minutes trying to figure out and actually now understands how it works.
