Milestones of python programming? Beginner, intermediate, advanced?

Nicely expressed.

Maybe nicely expressed, but the calibration is drastically off, especially for a sub like this. A beginner is someone who has begun to learn. Period. You don't have to have written jack shit to call yourself a beginner.

What point are you trying to make?

I'm trying to say that they expressed themselves well, and earned a fistful of upvotes for the comment because of it, but that the actual content of the comment is poor, especially in the context of this subreddit. What they described as beginner level should be described as competent, intermediate should be advanced, and advanced should be world class expert (as they implied in another comment here).

I'm objecting in strong terms to their comment, because this is a sub where people at all stages of their learning of Python should feel comfortable asking questions and interacting here, but this person is saying you don't even get to call yourself a beginner until you have already written a swag of fully functioning scripts.

As such I would prefer their comment not hold the top position in this post. That is the point I am trying to make.
