It is a problem that is easily fixed. I like the fact that javascript allows you to write ugly code to make something work fast. When it works, you can refactor quickly by naming anonymous functions / using Promises / using whatever framework.

Here is my nodejs algorithm so far:

    - Code something ugly with 4-7 anonymous function levels
    - Realize I'm in callback hell
    - Refactor and make sure all functions have access 
      to the variables they need.
      (Because the scope is often changed while refactoring)
    - Test
    - Repeat
