Nominal Animal, with regards to any Dunning-Kruger I may be (or probably am) suffering from...

I started in the 80's, as an engineer, writing ASM to solve problems. One of my first was a line frequency meter which took regular samples of line frequency and reported them to my Z80-based computer. I also did tons of Basic.
Prior to that, in college I used FORTRAN for many years doing engineering projects for my engineering classes.
In my 45+ years as an engineer I've used and written many software tools to, mostly, simulate real world systems (feedback/control systems, mechanical equipment dynamic response, etc.). These have been mostly higher level vendor-specific versions of their scripting and other applications. Also stuff like MATLAB, and tons of other software. I've also developed software Python-like modules for stuff like graphics/video compositing apps, etc. And as I've mentioned I've done a lot of programming of data acquisition devices like the Labjack, using their C/C++ interfaces.
I also have Linux (Cinnamon Mint & Ubuntu) installed on my desktops and have used and programmed it on and off over the years, though I admit I have little tolerance for the command line as well as other user-unfriendly stuff

. Oh, and I also have a Raspberry Pi with its version of Linux that I've prgrammed a lot. But no Arduino..
A week or so ago I tried to get back in to Python (a short journey which I outlined previously in this thread), and decided the benefit wasn't worth the cost.
Separately I've done a TON of graphics-based and other programming in C++, mostly along the lines of ray tracing, using stuff like DirectX and OpenGL. I've also done many tons of C# apps for a myriad of purposes over the years. Also NVIDIA C/C++ CUDA for parallel GPU computations and such, not only graphics but other engineering-based parallel problems.
I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff I'm forgetting, but I agree with you. I have severe Dunning-Kruger. As my signature below says:
"The best engineers know enough to realize they don't know nuthin"
