IMO the difference with math is, you are the compiler, the linter, and everything else as well. With programming, you have plenty of tools that detect errors for you. With maths you sometimes will only see the error after somebody else (like the tutor) point it for you. Therefore you can be much more efficient when programming than when doing proofs and other maths stuff. Except with economics, as you point out :)
