tweak nodemon + ts-node for better DX

In the nodejs example it is suggested to use a script
nodemon --watch 'src/**/*.ts' --exec 'ts-node' src/index.ts
which is ok when starting a project, but as the project grows it really starts to show. I was wondering if there is a thought behind it? Why not use ts-node-dev which handles file changes for you or a tweaked usage of the script in the example such as tsc --watch & nodemon dist/index.js? Latter one works faster in my experience. I am happy to do a PR for this but I wanted to ask about it beforehand. Thanks!
