Yeah this was awesome time and it did teach you more than just the trick, navigating unknown codebases, extracting the meaningful parts of a non trivial piece in f code… I really think the web community lost something with the transition to compiled uglified js and css…. Sure google will show you to some code if you manage to put what you are looking for into words but that isn’t always easy. Pitty that there is no standardised solution to publish the source along with the Minimized script nowadays.

There is. Source Maps. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/SourceMap https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/So... Can’t tell if you’re sarcastic or not, assuming not all comment readers will be aware either way.

  Very few sites ship source maps to production.

  Just for the record, source maps are awesome and (unfortunately) typically disabled on production. The original remark was criticism towards this practice.
