The final result: require() any module on npm in your browser console with browserify

This article is written to explain how the above gif works in the chrome (and other) browser consoles. A quick disclaimer: this whole thing is a huge hack, it shouldn't be used for anything seriously, and there are probably much better ways of accomplishing the same.

The solution might be in a decentralized protocol for address attribution such

Better local require() paths for Node.js

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.
