    I have grown tired of having lots of ../ in my require paths... so i took matters into my own hands!
Lets say you have a require like this one require('../../../conf'), if you move the file, it will break.
The following JS code addes > as a short cut to where app.js(or what ever the entry file is) so now you can get a clean
require that looks like this require('>/conf') and is valid anywhere in your project!
	const Module = require('module');
	const original_resolveFilename = Module._resolveFilename;

	Module._resolveFilename = function(...args){
	args[0] = args[0].startsWith('>') ? args[0].replace('>', __dirname) : args[0];
	return original_resolveFilename(...args);
	};
