       | Contrary to what the title would suggest, it's about finding a
       | mundane JS memory leak in moment.js by attaching the chrome
       | inspector to node. There's no out-of-the-ordinary tale here and
       | there's certainly little mystery.

       | The article might be useful if you've never done it before and
       | need some pointers.
