For comparison a regular handyman with a basic set of tools easily has 50+ if they just started. It's definitely possible to understand all of that and way more. Unless you're fresh out of uni and never worked on a professional company with more than a couple of people you'd see many more.

I'm not GP, but I used to write firmware. I had a C compiler, a debugger, and emacs.

IIUC, if you write a web application in the MS world, you have Visual Studio, ASP.Net, and IIS.

There doesn't have to be piles of libraries.
