I have been programming for over 40 years, mostly in fairly verbose languages but nowadays mostly in JavaScript and clojure, both of which can be very concise.

I find I spend most of my time thinking about the problem domain and how to model it in logic, and very little time just banging out boilerplate code. When I want to do the kind of task a lot of people will ask gpt for, I find it's often built into the language or available as an existing library - with experience you realise that the problem you're trying to solve is an instance of a general problem that has already been solved.
