The hard part for me to understand is that I've got way more than just a single file. I've got hundreds of coffee script files for a rather complex nodejs/express app.

I start it up with something like this:

  nodemon -w . lib/start/web.coffee

  or in production:

  coffee lib/start/web.coffee
That web.coffee file then require's a chain of files.

If I try to compile the source maps for all of my files first, using something like this:

  mkdir .compile
  coffee -m --output .compile --compile ./
In the .compile folder, there is a few oddly named subdirectories (d, b, rands, sc) with the compiled .js files in there and the respective .map files. This seems to totally break my require chain.

Since I don't normally pre-compile all my coffee script files, I just run them directly using nodemon or coffee, how can I work the maps into my dev process?
