There is plenty to learn from your peers. I don't underestimate it at all, it just wasn't the focus of this particular post. <br><br>One should be open to learning all the time and teaching is absolutely just as important.

One should be open to learning all the time and teaching is absolutely just as important.

You can learn something from anyone at any level. I have definitely learned a lot from my colleagues whatever their level.

I like your idea of the “Masterless Apprenticeship” but not only should we be open to learning from masters, we should just be open to learning.
