It works in all browsers and it breaks long tasks. Sometimes it's even more powerful than scheduler.yield().
About the generations, do you imagine a function that accepts a generator function and the user uses yield? Something like:
``` mainThreadScheduling(function *(yieldOrContinue) { yield yieldOrContinue; }) ```
A little thing but a great improvement. I'm now wondering why I did that.
It got popular back then. I'm wondering if I should rewrite the package from scratch, improve its API, and add it to npm.
Do you think it's worth it?
Nota - https://nota.md. It's a notes app but a lot of our users use it as a markdown editor. Nota is quite powerful as a markdown editor. It has a lot of smartness built into it.
Caret - https://caret.io. We started with this - a beautiful Markdown editor. We aren't implementing new features for it but if you are on Windows or Linux it might be worth trying out. We still have new users coming in.
A common feature of the two is that they both are pleasant to use. We've put a lot of hard work into the UX (which is also hard to market and one of the reasons why you probably haven't heard about us).
You also read the reviews of other people.
Both of these things can give a good sense if that book is for you.
This book changed my life. It's content is based on an entire life of research. I think I will learn new things every time I read it.
I like this question because I started re-reading a few books already. I find it valuable as I already know they are good and I can extract more from them the second/third/forth time.

Looking for small projects (2-4 weeks) or consulting work.
However, when I worked for a company I did get bigger promotions but that it was in the 10-20% range. I was literally 2-3 times more productive than people who got paid 30-40% less.
If you take a big picture look, you will see things get more obvious when you give it enough time. In 10 years the difference will be big enough (I think).
Do you have a platform in mind?

I have one sponsor that's paying me $6 a month. That may be a viable option in the future.
