Why can't we precompile assets in a development environment? I know that sprockets basically compile all assets.

When we go in production environment then we run the command:

rake assets:precompile

But in the development env we can't do anything for it to compile itself. What are difference in behavior of assets compilation in both environment?

If you want to precompile assets in development environment you can use this command:

RAILS_ENV=development bundle exec rake assets:precompile

You can precompile assets in development environment by default using config/development.rb

config.assets.debug = false

In most cases you don't need it because your development process will be more hard.
