Cross-Cultural Communication
If Spotify isn’t available in your country, you can use another podcasting app to access the episode!
Have you ever worked on a team comprised of people from all over the world and wondered why you were having difficulty communicating and getting work done? That’s because every culture has their own way of communicating. Today we’ll chat about how different cultures communicate, give negative feedback, make decisions, and perceive time in the hopes that you can improve your team collaboration.

AWS Amplify is a suite of tools and services that enables developers to build full-stack serverless and cloud-based web and mobile apps using their framework or technology of choice on the front end.
Using Amplify you can quickly get up and running with things like hosting, authentication, managed GraphQL, serverless functions, APIs, machine learning, chatbots, and storage for files like images, videos, and pdfs.
Amplify is built especially in a way to enable traditionally front-end developers to be successful because they can use their existing skillset to build real-world full-stack apps that in the past would require deep knowledge around back end, dev ops, and scalable infrastructure.
The Amplify Console then allows you to use a Github repository to deploy to a globally available CDN, with CI and CD built-in.

So Let’s face it, your code is going to have errors, even code written by an amazing developer such as yourself. When errors do creep in, it's nice to know that Honeybadger has your back.
Honeybadger makes you a DevOps hero! by combining error monitoring, uptime monitoring and check-in monitoring into a single, easy to use platform, all for way less than you're probably paying now, if you even have monitoring.
Honeybadger monitors and sends error alerts real time with all the context needed to see what's causing the error and where it's hiding in the code so you can quickly fix it and get back to being awesome!
The included uptime and check-in monitoring also lets you know when your external services are having issues or your background jobs go missing or silently fail.
Go to Honeybadger.io and discover how Starr, Josh, and Ben created a 100% bootstrapped monitoring solution. Why is this important? Self funding means they only answer to you, the developer, rather than a venture capital overlord.
So go check out HoneyBadger after the show, tell them Ladybug Podcast sent you, when signing up and get 30% off for 6 months and they'll apply the discount to your account; no credit card required.
