On: Being good at coding competitions correlates negatively with job performance

The dictionary definition does not make any reference to this. At most you could say the difference is knowledge can be purely theoretical while wisdom is knowledge + practical experience.

But nothing about a coding challenge is purely theoretical. Its mostly experience with the specific set of problems that come up in these challenges which is a different set of problems that come up in a commercial situation.

Knowledge is knowing what the dictionary says. Wisdom is knowing what that definition implies :)

Sorry, just ribbing you a bit.

I believe the words do have subtle but distinct differences in meaning.

Agreed on coding challenges being a different set of problems then most commercial applications.
