And always kids, write code for one person, and one person only: your future self.

Yeah, fsck your co-workers and your replacement when you quit.
If you’re good to your future self you’re also good to them.
Invalid argument. Very rarely your future self will work in that company or on the same project. Even if someone plans to keep his job for a long time, writing for his's future self usually means making himself non-replaceable by writing unreadable code.
