I hate this kind of comment where people take synonyms and say they are the different things. Knowledge and wisdom are the same thing despite whatever bullshit definitions people apply to try to make them seem different.

Perhaps what you mean is knowledge in artificial crafted problems is not the same as knowledge in practical tasks that you would perform in a real job on a real world application.

Knowledge is knowing what happened. Wisdom is realizing what is likely going to happen.

>>Sulfur+(OP)
They're not even close to being the same thing. The point here is that wisdom is more akin to judgment than mere possession of facts. For example, sufficient wisdom may give one the humility to reflect on the completeness of their understanding before submitting an inflammatory reply.

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.
