You missed the real point. Its not how he uses vim. It's a rare chance to experience how a 1000x programmer works. Its a gift to see a very bright, proven programmer code. To look at how an accomplished knowledgeable coder thinks, google's with the kind of keyword, what websites he vists, the songs he plays, even the kind of drinks, food e.t.c(for 11 hours straight some drinks might be suited best). If you work for a big tech company( and in the right team) you might get to see over the shoulders of 1000x devs. But for the rest of us this is the closest to looking over the shoulder of 1000x dev at work.

I've read this comment 10 times and I still can't tell if it's satire or not. Well done, either way.

Definitely not satire. Curious why do you think so ?.

I guess its because I never said, that he is not a very good hacker. So the objection in your comment looked out of place, but the comment would make more sense in a sarcastic assent.
