Well, in the real world a lot of people have to work on teams where many of their co-workers never grow beyond beginner level. So anything that can be done to reduce the burden of having to deal with them is welcome. Not everyone gets to sit in the Silicon Valley ivory tower beside the greats.

40 years is a peculiar number. If it is your passion, you should easily be able to see 60-70 years (assuming you live to an average age), and if you are only in it for the paycheque the comparatively high salary offers you retirement long before 40 years comes around.
