 The key features are:
 
 * **Fast**: Very high performance, on par with **NodeJS** and **Go** (thanks to Starlette and Pydantic). [One of the fastest Python frameworks available](#performance).
-* **Fast to code**: Increase the speed to develop features by about 200% to 300%. *
-* **Fewer bugs**: Reduce about 40% of human (developer) induced errors. *
