This tracks with my assessment of the two likely personalities of software engineers, either narcissistic or anxious with imposter syndrome.

Not at the same time, but in alternation, sure. It's all reactions to underlying shame and inadequacy beliefs/feelings which are there all the time I expect.

I disagree: as a Bachus of Programming I have successfully managed to at the same time both be a God of Programming AND having no clue what's going on.

(The real joke behind the joke is that today I'm doing Shader programming so that's quite close to reality and I could definitelly do with large amounts of wine or at least beer).
