What are good non-ableist replacements for "the blind leading the blind"?

I was just about to describe my situation setting my team up with git as "the 20/200 leading the blind" and oh wait.

@mcmoots this seems like a good time for dating what you actually mean - like, if what you mean is "the people teaching only know slightly more than their students," can you just say that?

@sev Hmm. What I like about the ableist metaphor is its slight implication of danger - like, you're supposed to believe that blind people are likely to just wander into traffic or something.

(The metaphor popped into my head because I realized this morning that I don't know what the best practice is for keeping a production repo up to date in the particular way that I want to do. And I'm inexperienced enough I didn't even notice the stickiness until it caused a problem.)
