386+ That compiles the app with JIT and launches the server.
387+ The server loads `index.html` which is still the AOT version (confirm in the browser console).
388+ Change the address bar to `index-jit.html` and it loads the JIT version (confirm in the browser console).
389+
390+ Develop as usual.
391+ The server and TypeScript compiler are in "watch mode" so your changes are reflected immediately in the browser.
392+
393+ To see those changes in AOT, switch to the original terminal and re-run `npm run build:aot`.
394+ When it finishes, go back to the browser and back-button to the AOT version in the (default) `index.html`.
395+
396+ Now you can develop JIT and AOT, side-by-side.
