I Know:

• Programming languages: It doesn't matter which one, I'll learn it, but I've already built things in C, Go, Java, JavaScript, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Prolog, Python, and Ruby.
• Markup and styling: I've produced literally hundreds of CSS positioned layouts that displayed consistently across browsers using the Blink, Gecko, and Webkit layout engines. Not to mention EdgeHTML and Trident.
• Good software development practices — separation of concerns, loose coupling, SCM, MVC, TDD, OOP, etc.
• Database theory and practice: I've used both relational and document-oriented databases. I know SQL. I can bring home the data, fry it up in a query plan.
• How the web works on a protocol level: I could write my own web server in a pinch (but I know it's usually a better idea to re-use the work of others)
• How the web works on a social level: attention, link-bait, memes, "why wasn't I consulted", online community (I'm "from the Internet").
• What makes for good design and user experience.
• How to learn new things
