    About this Episode

    SphereEX builds distributed data systems, making it easier for organizations to load balance massive data stores across multiple servers. 

    Now that open-source software has taken over Western software, it’s China’s turn. Even big companies like Baidu and Bytedance are opening up their projects. 

    Trista is the only female Apache member in China, which is both an honor and a demonstration of how much work needs to be done to support women in STEM. 

    This episode’s Lifeboat badge shoutout goes to swati kiran for her answer to 

    Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-sass/build'
