A very relatable story. 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.

Nopass: A plugin that helps enable experience password-less login (biometric, hardware secrets, mobile tokens) on any website even before they adapt FIDO2.
Please add Phoebe Buffay & Regina Phalange .. I will send a pull request may be :D
It is similar to it, here are few differences: 1) Regex search 2) Performance - most of the data is locally cached 3) IDE like experience and a one click/swipe to move back to previous file without having to visit an intermediate page, not much of a plus but yeah!

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

What I learnt : We need to embrace randomness to keep life simple! 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
