css, javascript, source maps, typescript
Ever wondered how source maps actually work? In this episode, Nicolo Ribaudo, Babel maintainer and TC39 delegate, breaks down how source maps connect your JavaScript, TypeScript, and CSS back to the original code — making debugging, stack traces, and observability smoother in Chrome dev tools.
We dive into how source maps help in both development and production with minified code, explore tools like Webpack, Rollup, Next.js, and Svelte, and share when you should turn off source maps to avoid confusion.
