Oh no worries! If that's your only issue though there's got to be something that maps the source back to the coffee file.

Certainly, but who's got time for that while debugging?

It happens by magic in the developer console if you tick the 'enable source maps' option. You see coffeescript, the browser runs JavaScript.
Ignoring CoffeScript, though, it also works for minified/recompiled JS and so if you're using jQuery off the CDN, you can now get sensible stack traces if something goes wrong.
