The sort of competence I think about is more of an innate ability to learn and figure out things on your own. Some people simply cannot do this. They need very specific instructions and hand holding.
They won't read documentation. They won't Google for an answer. They won't look at error logs. They won't browse around in the code to see what other people have done similarly. They won't look at the git history.
You can build experience by doing these things, even if you don't have any. If you are inexperienced and don't at least try to do them... well... that's incompetence.
