"De-black boxing" the build tools

[mburridge]

For many developers the build stack scaffolded by tools like @wordpress/create-block is a mystery that they don't understand, essentially it's like a "black box" that they can't see inside.

This lack of understanding means that when things go wrong they're unable to address the problem in order to fix it, and often are even unable to understand what the error messages are intended to convey.

This article idea came out of a conversation with @MadtownLems and proposes to explain how the build stack works, i.e. what package.json does, how to configure WebPack, etc...

An article that "demystifies" the build stack used in block development and explains how it works and how the pieces all fit together will enable developers to also have the knowledge and understanding to customise their environment to suit their own requirements.
