  When I went to the university, I don't remember any obviously incompetent
professors. Some teaching assistants were, but that's completely different
(because they were often just students like everybody else, usually just
a few years senior).

  Most (if not all) of the professors related to computing science that
ever taught me were much more competent and knowledgeable about programming
than I am today. Perhaps the only field where there was slightly less
abundant expertise overall was computer graphics.
