Significantly reduce webpack build and rebuild times by disabling sourcemaps and splitting up tailwind imports within webpack.
Sourcemaps are nice-to-have but come with a high cost: they add up to the already not so great build and rebuild times. Due to our component and utility based approach to styling we won't write that much custom CSS anyway, so let's just disable sourcemaps and save us some time.
Splitting up tailwind imports into chunks lets webpack reimport only the css files that actually changed. This cuts down rebuild times < 1s 馃帀
