For other people that might have the same problem: `.angular` folder caches the last build, and if you don't change your code between builds it will reuse the last build and won't notice the change in flag `NG_BUILD_MANGLE`. So the solution is to either make change in code or delete `.angular` folder in between builds without changes.

Thanks @Dimitri for help in solving this!

Does this bring any advantage over using source maps?

Is there a way we can automatically remove console.logs upon build?

that was crazy, making debug in min file in production, someone has made it sometime! i had never heard something like that before, this is like make debug in compile version of the program

Cool, but how much bigger will be the bundle?

is it okay if I go as far as setting "sourceMap": true when I want to debug?
