First off, use a native app, Gmail or another email client. It's lighter since you aren't loading the UI resources like you would in a web app. It can also be set to store messages locally so that the app won't have to query

Promises alone, good for me. Promises + generators, they just created a monster. I'll probably be sticking to just promises for a while. JavaScript is becoming terrible these days with all these foreign concepts being pulled in. It&#x2

This depends on the browser. Dev tools are "smart". It knows where you should put a breakpoint (i.e: putting it on a blank line, it puts it on the next executable line instead). It also knows when you adjusted your script (i.e.: r
