Alternate approaches to handle source maps

When our app gets deployed to production we often encounter a different code than the one we edited during development. Our code get’s modified and optimized during the build process.

All those concepts are great because they improve the performance of our application. But we are looking at JavaScript that is hard to read and impedes debugging.

But there’s a solution. source maps!
