Technology work hierarchy

Similar on Maslow's need Hierarchy, this is what I believe is technology work hierarchy:
Lowest level: Survival, do what you are told esp things like bug fixing, need minimum understanding of design and language features.
Next level: Understand language and bit of design, make better software, but still what needs to be done is dictated by others(designers/managers)
3rd Level: Understand language/design in detail; ability to teach others the technical concepts in simple language, Expert. But still work is defined by Others.
4the Level: creativity Level, When one sees new uses of current knowledge, start being creative, stats defining new applications of technology or improvements to technology. Self actualization level.
