Honestly, this confused me. The number immediately made me think he was submitting fake orders for that amount. I don't know to read it any other way.

My guess is that there is every possible combination of items that is added to the cart, and then the API response returns what items are unavailable/out of stock.

Honestly, I'm not in love with this post for HN. It seems like something done and communicated for twitter clout and is devoid of interesting details.
