>Wait, I have never said anything about my supposed abilities or self-perceived performance regarding programming
How come? You said you are a ‘polyglot’.
Human language polyglots are geniuses who know several languages on a decent level. If you checked several courses on Duolingo, chances are you are not one.
The same applies to programming languages.
Maybe, stop calling yourself a synonym of ‘genius’ to avoid receiving references to Dunning-Kruger effect.
>How come you are diagnosing overconfidence from afar, without knowing anything beyond the few lines I've written?
Few lines are enough to see inconsistencies in your words and realize that I was in your shoes.
The only difference is that as a script-kiddie “having dabbled in a two-digit amount of programming languages“ I decided to give it a try and shifted to programming in my career. It’s not what I thought it was, so I cleaned out my closet from amateurish illusions, focused on 2 languages and I’m quite satisfied with my job.
