Comment (by kadamwhite):

 Notes from slack review with @adamsilverstein :

 - `webpack.config.dev.js` and `webpack.config.prod.js` are more standard
 than `webpack-dev.config.js`, I'd err on the side of convention here (as
 established in projects like create-react-app and comments in the webpack
 docs) for the added specificity
 - We should be adding the most up-to-date versions of webpack and webpack-
 dev-server, they've both evolved a point or patch release or two since
 this patch was created

 Other than that, looks good, let's do it!
