In fairness to you, I'd guess you, too, would code like a demon with such a short and hard deadline. I've watched previous of his codestreams and strange crap does happen, but instead of sitting and thinking for ten minutes, he codes and re-codes for ten minutes. Sort of thinking out loud.

I've noticed that a lot in this current stream. Instead of stopping to think and plan out how to do something, he keeps reiterating until he's satisfied.

He's satisficing. He's producing something quickly, rather than some optimal solution that takes much longer.
