It's really incoherent. I think the point was to talk about the subjective perception of your personal productivity but the text is really just a jumble of too many different thoughts at once.

It's a metaphor...the authors' point is that hour in do not equate to value out. An engineer can develop a solution worth tens of thousands of dollars to a company in just a day, by merely automating tedious tasks.

This is more of a thought piece than anything.

Read again, its in the first section:

"... feel like I’ve never been as productive an engineer as today; and yet, I notice that I’ve never worked less hours in a given week"

> Getting back to the title: do all 10x developers really take long naps? No, no, they don’t all do that.
