We had our babel build over to /lib but really /build makes more sense. This might be a somewhat pedantic change but I think it's a change worth making since it is more explicit This also uses the `babel` command rather than awkwardly pulling from the node_modules (which... maybe we needed at one point but we don't need any longer thanks to @babel/cli)
The nodemon package is super handy for development environments because it makes it possible to run a service that automatically restarts on code change.
We had our `start` command running via `babel-node` which... technically works but is slower (and maybe less secure). Instead we want our start command, which may be invoked in production, to build and run from the transpiled version of the code. We'll address the dev command in a future commit.
Running `npm run dev` will now start the application via nodemon, so it will auto-restart on code change. Worth noting that dev wasn't a command before this.
