If I'm not mistaken, instead of splitting into: controllers/ users.js teams.js models/ user.js team.js Just have: modules/ users.js

If I'm not mistaken, instead of splitting into: controllers/ users.js teams.js models/ user.js team.js Just have: modules/ users.js teams.js Where model and controllers for each function is defined within a single file. I've switched to this convention as well - less context switching of files.
