Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

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

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions

Thinkscape

#!/usr/bin/osascript

# Name of the device as visible in Safari->Develop menu
set deviceName to "iPhone Simulator"

# Number of seconds to wait for the simulator window to show up
set maxWait to 30
