I've had clients/managers assume that because I know how to code (in the general sense) that I can easily build anything that is built with code. I usually respond with, "I could maybe figure something out but it's going to take a lot longer than you would like. You'd probably be better off finding someone with experience in [whatever]."

"You know PHP, that's great! Can you build us some facial recognition software that uses AI to determine who a person is and their favorite beer?"
