Interesting breakdown of levels. I like it.

I’m not sure I believe that Level 7 exists for most projects. It is utterly *impossible* for most non-trivial programs to have a spec that doesn’t not have deep, carnal knowledge of the implementation. It can not be done.

For most interesting problems the spec HAS to include implementation details and architecture and critical data structures. At some point you’re still writing code, but in a different language, and it migtt hurt have actually been better to just write the damn struct declarations by hand and then let AI run with it.
