I'm a little disappointed. The title of the post and the beginning of the article had me expecting an interesting piece on mortality and life and regrets, but it ended up being an explanation of interactive story telling and an almost non sequitur story.
I loved the bead idea though. Pure genius to really nail in how finite life is. It hits home for all.
The post takes an individualistic view. For an alternative look at http://genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/index.php, the Mathematics Genealogy Project, which traces the tree from supervisor to PhD student.
Life is short and you cannot expect to achieve much, so be sure to provide a proper write up of the hacks that were hardest to discover. Teach them. Then they will not be lost and progress can accumulate.
Crawford has extensive writings at his website, and written a couple of books, and I think taught some, so he's arguably made the effort to pass his work along, in addition to keeping track of where he stands wrt mortality.
