Question for Bitcoin developers or more technical people.

When Satoshi launched the network, it was only himself mining, maybe with two computers, and the difficulty was zero, how did he knew that the next block would come out in approximately 10 minutes?

It's programed in the protocol.. and he waited for others to download the network before the first block was mined from my understanding

AFAIK there isn't any time measures in the code. There is only block height and difficulty adjustment algorithm.
