Ah yes, the Go mantra. Make your code as dumb and long as possible.

Writing dumb code is often a good thing. Dumb code still solves your problem and can be structured well to keep it readable and maintainable.

I feel like code even should be dumb most of the time and only clever when needed. The hard part is to figure out when to be clever.

Write clever code then dumb it down

Compared to what? I used to do scripting languages and Go code is usually more verbose. Not much more verbose though. Think it's mostly the static typing.

While keeping things short is a goal, it's not the only goal..
