This tracks with my assessment of the two likely personalities of software engineers, either narcissistic or anxious with imposter syndrome.
Both at once all the time ?
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).
Good assessment. And most of us are both.
