I had a very frustrating experience working with some people who both had no idea how a software application came together, but also wanted to be extremely prescriptive about what little they did know. It left me in a very frustrating position of feeling micro-managed while also not being managed at all.
And talk about Dunning-Kruger effect! These people seriously thought they knew everything and would not budge on a few really bad ideas. But since they were so ignorant, I couldn't really even have a reasonable conversation in order to reach any compromises.

Needless to say, the project didn't go very well.
I sadly sympathize more than I'd like to.
