I agree, but I think that at times there is some more talent about in peers, just need to give them the benefit of the doubt and see how they go.
I was thinking about it recently, if I had spent my 4 years of uni (just finish up now) focusing solely on the course content and not spending time reading things like books and hacker news and hacking my own projects/ freelancing/ startup, where would I be as a programmer? I think I would be so far behind where I am now, especially on the business side of things but also the programming. I know for a fact the thesis I'm finishing up would be nowhere near the level I have go it to.
It's interesting that in uni in terms of ability I would be close to the top, but when I've seen some of the amazing talent in Melbourne through coworking I'm just average.
