The productivity hack is usually in getting examples of things you don't know how to do (or are unsure of the best way to do). Programming languages are pretty optimized for precision, if you want a specific thing done, and you already know how to do it, it's probably going to be quicker to just write the code for quite some time. Getting natural language to be that precise requires, well, a wall of text usually. Hence the overly verbose language of more rigorous philosophy.
