After almost a decade of working on larger software development teams, one of the parts I (surprisingly) miss the most is the daily, early-morning standup meeting. Without a routine or direct teammates, it's easy to lose sight of that steady, healthy track of progress that makers should aspire to.

So, I'd like to try an experiment. Every morning around 9:30 I'll post the following prompt in #virtual-standup; anyone in the room is encouraged to check in.

Good morning, @channel -- let's have a quick standup.

1. What did you get done yesterday?
2. What are you working on today?

function asyncFunction (param) {
  // Scope local variables to this function
  // param is also both locally scoped
  var n = param.name
  var e = param.extension
  
  // Simulate something asynchronous happening
  setTimeout(function(){ 
    console.log("Downloaded file: " + n + "." + e)
  }, 500 + (Math.random() * 500))

    if (action(array[i]) {

    }
  }
  return outbound;

var pageHeight = $("body > div:last-child").height();

var maxTicks = (77 * 15);
var pixelsPerTick = (pageHeight / maxTicks);

var autoscroller = function() {
  if (tickCount < maxTicks) {
    tickCount++;
    window.scrollBy(0, pixelsPerTick);
    setTimeout(autoscroller, (1000 / 77));
