Yegge's list resonated a little more closely with my progression to a clumsy L8.

I think eventually 4-8 will be collapsed behind a more capable layer that can handle this stuff on its own, maybe I tinker with MCP settings and granular control to minmax the process, but for the most part I shouldn't have to worry about it any more than I worry about how many threads my compiler is using.

I was surprised the author didn’t mention Yegge’s list (or maybe I missed it in my skim).

I thought level 8 was a joke until Claude Code agent teams. Now I can't even imagine being limited to working with a single agent. We will be coordinating teams of hundreds by years end.

Yep I was also surprised to see MCP & Skills as not only a distinct "level", but so high up.

In my mind, MCP & Skills is inseparable part of chat interfaces for LLMs, not a distinct level.

Agreed a bit. I'm probably too paranoid for MCP, but also don't mind rolling my own CLI tools that do the exact minimum I need them to do. Will see where we're at in a year or so....
