The development and production modes in webpack optimize the output in different ways. In development mode, the focus is on faster builds and a better developer experience. In production mode, the focus is on highly optimized bundles, leading to a better user experience. The good news is, we can have both. In this lesson, we'll separate our webpack config into two configurations and update our scripts to run the right config for our needs.

I had issues trying to use merge the way it was referenced. Instead of

const merge = require('webpack-merge')

I had to use

const { merge } = require('webpack-merge');

to avoid the 'merge is not a function' error.
