What I learned that viewing Node.js docs is that they're perhaps the most unreadable docs I've seen, due to the bajillion point font making for ~30 characters per line.
Quick note about the section on "Relative paths": `fs` paths _are_ relative to `process.cwd()` but `__dirname` reflects the directory that contains the current file. Those two directories are not necessarily the same thing.

Maybe they're in need of a web designer.
