When You Take "C Is Faster" Too Literally

When someone says "C is faster than Python," they probably didn't mean "write Python code that generates, compiles, and runs C code." That's like ordering takeout, driving to pick it up yourself, and claiming you've mastered efficient food delivery. Sure, technically the C part runs faster, but you've added so much Python overhead that you might as well have gone full snake from the start. It's the coding equivalent of putting racing stripes on a minivan.
