Both professional activities and hobbies

For example… If a new hire is introduced as “good at Python and C++” at work, what does this imply about the person’s skill level in your opinion? Or if someone says they are a “good runner”, what would come to your mind? Or is it field-dependent?

Asking because sometimes I’m not sure if I am under/over-exaggerating my own abilities when meeting new ppl at work/etc…

    I assume competent. If you’re “good” at it, you can do it without much more than the expected amount of help.

    If you’re a good runner, I’m not expecting you to win, but I expect you’ll be able to finish it.
