Level 100,200,300…, eh? WTF is that? Level xxx is a term we used at Microsoft to set expectations of the audience and the speaker. As a speaker i need to know what my audience is, and as an audience you probably do not want to attend a level 400 Neural Net if you are not prepared for it. As a rule, only the top engineers and developers delivered level 400 content. I never have, i doubt i ever will, i am not interested enough in anything to stick with it to level 400.

You can liken it to a rate yourself on a 1-10 scale of level of knowledge of a thing. 9.5 is the person that wrote the thing, so you are not a 10 at anything unless you wrote the thing. Hadley Wickham is in the 9\/10 space on tidyverse. Bob Ward is one of many level 400 speakers at MSFT, though for fun sometimes they are advertised as level 500, i don’t really know what 500 means in a scale of 100-400. Mark Russinovich used to do a lot of level 400 talks on debugging windows, or process hacking for troubleshooting purposes. I think you get the point. Level 100 is targeted at everyone, most sales folks don’t know more than level 200 on a good day, so don’t be afraid to challenge them. <\/p>\n

There was a post that went up in 2006<\/a> on the MSFT levels, still valid today, and i still like them. If you see that in my post you will know to keep reading or save for when more interested. <\/p>\n
