Homebrew asked me to overwrite my node symlink with the iojs symlink. I decided to link iojs to iojs on my own. I hope I'm not spinning myself into some technical debt here, but for now, I'd like to maintain both.

Some npm modules require specific version of node. If iojs overwrites `node` you may see node-gyp use algernative fallback build, which causes installation failure. At least now, the better way is to keep symlink to node as node. Use iojs when needed.
