Everything tends to come more slowly. And having to explain things that are very rudimentary gets old quickly (db normalization for example). The smart ones pick it up very quickly, so it's just part of the learning experience. The downside is a lack of structure to most things as well. Learning everything through online blogs instead of deep dives into the tools and frameworks they're using. Also a more limited skillset across technologies. They tend to be focused on the one answer they've learned, not having the time typically to branch out to other tools. I say this as a mediocre developer myself who has many shortcomings. Although I'm getting away from development as much as I can.
