I don’t know what exactly this will do, but I know enough about the terminal to get the feeling this is a bad idea

It searches for a process named vim using grep (which searches within provided lines), but since grep vim also contains vim, we then exclude grep too, so only the actual vim process gets found without the grep vim process. Sounds a lot like this post, doesn't it?

  Well that’s anticlimactic. Here I thought grep would continuously ping ps aux and softlock the terminal or something

It’ll give a list of processes with vim in the name. You could also just pgrep vim but that’s too easy.
