Better local require() paths for Node.js

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

Fix "unsupported new OS, trying as if it were 10.6-10.7" from reattach-to-user-namespace on Mountain Lion (probably in tmux).
# Start by checking if they fixed it upstream:
brew update
brew upgrade reattach-to-user-namespace
# If it says it's already installed, they haven't fixed it upstream. So do this:
# Edit the recipe:
brew edit reattach-to-user-namespace
