I responded without reading anyone else's comments-- I'm so happy that my Past [name], Future [name], dialogue is something other people do! You're "other me" is the same as my "Past Jon"

haha-- Remember to thank your "other me" and you should make sure to drop little notes addressed to your future self-- beacuse it is REALLY rewarding to find a note you left addressing your future self like "Hey, Future Self-- If you're looking for the actual module that does the communication-- it's: [location]"

And if a year later you are doing EXACTLY that-- trying to track down that thing-- and you start with something you know -- and find that note- It's hard to not exclaim- "Thanks Past Self, you just saved me some searching- hats off to you sir"

“But even the hacker who works alone,” said Master Foo, “collaborates with others, and must constantly communicate clearly to them, lest his work become confused and lost.”

“Of what others do you speak?” the Prodigy demanded.

Master Foo said: “All your future selves.”
