Could you talk a bit about the things you do to prepare a development environment for a new project? For example if you are starting to make a quick app for the Javascript30 course, are you setting up a webpack-dev-server for prototyping etc?

I always get up and running as fast as possible.

For simple HTML+CSS+JS I'll use browser-sync (we do this in some JS30 vids)
For React I used create-react-app
For my node or WordPress sites I mostly use Gulp to handle everything except the JavaScript bundling (webpack does that)

(Hope that helps -feel free to ask more Qs below)

Thanks something like browser-sync is what I was looking for when I need something quick (I hadn't gotten to those videos yet). Also could you explain why your using Gulp & webpack for more complex apps, instead of just using webpack and some loaders?
