You’re supposed to disable source maps in prod?
Asking for a friend
Just to save on wasted bandwidth for the client (and your server) is why I would disable them.
they're different files generally, the only client that will automatically request them is a debugger.
you turn them off because you don't want to expose your full source code. if you would be ok making your webpage git repo public then making sourcemaps available is fine.
