Of course, we all feel sorry for those other Tims out there who were not lucky enough to have such a good manager. Partly, because we see the Tim in ourselves.

I think this is what we can do to help: Remember sometimes we are also those co-workers who took help from Tim around us and conveniently forgot to Thank their contribution in success of our project. A simple thank you note in the right meeting, slack channel or in the project delivery mail goes a long way. Measuring the indirect impact of an employee is hard, even if you were the manager at any level. Taking help is not a sign of weakness or acknowledging the contribution of a co-worker doesn't make your effort any smaller.

Based on the feedback/usage I hope to build more features like goto method/variable definition to make it a more complete product.

I asked for Strength,

God gave me difficulties to face.

I asked for Wisdom,

God gave me problems to solve.

I asked for Courage,

God gave me danger to overcome.

I asked for Love,

God gave me troubled people to help.

God gave me opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted;

I received everything I needed.

My PRAYER has been answered.

Could not complete the game with a "monotonous" set of instructions;

function solve(i, selector) { if(i > 0) { if(selector('a' || Math.floor((Math.random()*100)+1) % 3 == 0) == null){ setTimeout(function(){ solve(i,selector);}, 1000); } else { selector('a').click(); solve(i-1,selector); } } }

solve(1400,$); //worked thrice under 1400
