Before reading the article, my response would have been: "With my stupidity plus tireless determination, the clone would be dead in five minutes"

>>> Your clone decided to give up the bad habits you shared.

This suggests more than one difference.

Well, what would happen is that the clone would commence a depth first walk down the path of the original's imagined task graph and probably overdose on some stimulant while trying to prove the Riemann hypothesis.

I found the story in the article to be a bit naive...

"You finished that app!" I'd exclaim, and my clone would nod contentedly. "You finished Breaking Bad!" he'd exclaim, and I would nod contentedly. My clone, smug in his accomplishments, would be as jealous of me, smug in my slothfulness - because we both missed out on something.
