Better than many, mediocre.
With my coworkers I've got a strange ability to pick up any language that tastes like c, and get stuff done. I'm sure I've confused our c# guys when I make a change to their code and ask for a code review, because I'll chase down quality of life improvements for myself. (Generally, I will make the change and ask if I have any unintended side effects, because in an MCU, I know what all my side effects are, multi threaded application?, not at all)
Edit: coming from a firmware view, I've made enough mistakes to realize when order of operations will stab me, when a branch is bad because that pipeline hit will hurt, and I still get & vs && wrong more often than I would like to admit.
I just have to say "tastes like c" is a visceral way to say it. I approve.
I think I'll never not make & &&, | || or = == operators mistakes. It's so easy to go over it fast and not notice the mistakes.
I like developing MCU firmwares because there is limited amout of resources and you usually have direct control of what is running when.
I feel the better than many, but mediocre in my soul. I mean, I get paid to code, so I certainly have a good enough knowledge to do so. But I have the tendancy to undersell myself.
