title: Angular2 - What's a good 'dist' folder size?
body: <p><strong>Note</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I'm new to this and have just been 'blagging' my way through writing this code</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>What I'm using</strong>
   - Angular (using Angular Cli)
   - Firebase</p>
  
  <p><strong>Issue / Concern</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>When I run 'ng build --watch' it creates a 'dist' folder. I've checked the size of the folder and it amounts to 11.4mb. This is what I need to upload to firebase.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>Questions</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Is this a massive file size?</li>
  <li>How do I minify my files?</li>
  <li>Based on the image below, do the 'map' files need to be included? If not, how do I remove them?</li>
  <li>Any advice on running a build command for production?</li>
  </ul>
