The author is, if this is all real, one of the most prolific programmers I’ve seen. Wow! Can I have some of what he’s on?

I ask this honestly, possibly because I'm of an inferior build, but do these types of people have jobs?

It sounds like OP is in university, so they could have anywhere from no free time to mostly free time.

What made you think that? Based on the author’s Twitter feed [1] and own website [2] they currently work at Notion

It's clear that the "author" is a +10x engineer. It's rare to come across someone with such a broad range of interests and abilities, and their contributions to open-source software are truly remarkable.

The secret is that they always write "you" as "u" and then spend all the time saved on programming.

Correct. This is also, incidentally, why startups innovate faster than established companies - people in the corporate world waste so much time on typing things like "To whom it may concern", or "Looking forward to hearing from you", or, you know, on written communication in general.
