I agree, I'm venturing into Level 6 myself and it often feels like being one step too high on a ladder. Level 7 feels like just standing on the very top of the ladder, which is terrifying (to me anyway as an experienced software engineer).


To me it’s not terrifying because it’s just so plainly bad and not good enough. If you try L7 it just doesn’t work. Unless you’re making a dashboard in which case sure yeah it’s fine. But not for complex problems.
