> I despise, despise, Homebrew's "we know better than you" approach to always installing the latest versions of every dependency

I love it. I'm using a desktop, not a server. I specifically want my dependencies to be always up to date

Then install nvm. Nvm will always be latest, the Homebrew packages will always depend on the latest node version, and locally you'll depend on your own node version that you installed with nvm.
