I would say a 3-hour-task isn't representative in the other way around. When you tackle a 1000-hour task, you'll probably spend more than 1000 hours working out what the requirements even are. A significant portion of my workday are meetings, not coding.
And with a long-form task, you'll go back reading existing code much more often than writing new code, too.
