I can't speak with authority here, but it's certainly not this way in 
Perl land.  Many experts track Perl Beginners and/or Perl Monks.  While 
there is some bad advice given, it's generally corrected quickly.

Don't underestimate the value for even intermediate level programmers 
either.  You can learn a lot from teaching.

Again, this isn't so much my prediction, just what I've observed 
elsewhere.
