The thing is, Competitive Programming (CP) is a completely different discipline/subject with its own trivia knowledge and tricks. CP uses Computer Science the same way as e.g. Biology uses Mathematics. It has very little in common with a real world software development.

I said as much in another comment.

Automating the software development profession proper is going to be much harder and will require autonomous agents with coherent world models, because that’s what you need to act in a business context.
