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.

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

Fenced code blocks inside ordered and unordered lists

1. This is a numbered list.

2. I'm going to include a fenced code block as part of this bullet:

MOC on OS X

I waited for years for a Homebrew formula for MOC. I finally found one today, but it didn't work for me. So I decided to try to compile it from source.

Requirements

Here is a list of requirements, taken directly from the MOC README:

/**

 * Yes, it does.

"""{escher} -- one-file key-value storage.

What?
  This is a toy application to manage persistent key-value string data.
  The file {escher} is *both* the application and its data.
  When you run any of the commands below, the file will be executed and,
  after data change, it will rewrite itself with updated data.
  You can copy the file with whatever name to create multiple datasets.
