    Eh. That’s like saying speed chess “is not at all comparable” to chess. There’s differences but it’s the same game. In this case speed coding still relies on the programmers understanding of the problem. There’s just usually less edge cases that you have to handle (usually input can be read in a less safe way because it’s in a specific format, and others)

      It’s not the same game at all. A single purpose piece of code does not have the same considerations as a large software application. It’s more like one is speed chess and the other is actual armies on a battlefield.

      It’s more like comparing a review of Chapter 1 to a book report.

      We know a computer is faster at things. It relies on that to perform iterations, overcoming the core shortfall of actual intelligence. Whereas the ideas a human gets are established almost instantly, especially with experience, but they perform slower.

      Literally, this is the “development” in software development.
