I can program a VCR. Sometimes without reading the instruction manual.
That's how
awesomely savvy I am.
Other comparison points:
* I don't have to ask "is this mic / recorder on?" I know.
* I can get a laptop up to my usual workflow and styling in about 2 hr tops after installing the base system.
* I can reasonably explain why people should where possible use eg.: Signal instead of Whatsapp, or Startpage instead of Google.
* I can spell URLs over the phone (in my language's equivalent of the NATO spelling).
* I can supplant or block wifi networks at the bandwidth / RF spectrum level.
* I can follow use case diagrams, flow diagrams, network diagrams and data transit diagrams.
* I can explain the
OSI Model levels using stuff like Oreo cookies (with or without rat tails).
* I successfully used threat of legal action against my phone manufacturer to get them to allow me to unlock the bootloader.
* I can social engineer people into giving me their passwords.
* I know exactly why I
shouldn't create my own programming language or operating system.
* I once created my own "this is what the standard libs are missing" library once for a programming language I like, and still maintain it sometimes.
* I know how to file a GDPR complain and follow the case. I just don't / can't, in general, because I'm not an EU citizen.
* I can make puns about Javascript (okay that one is not too hard).
* I can
enter valid tar commands.
