As a 100% remote company, our annual company hackathon is one of our most important rituals.

Some of our most important products and features, like session replay and our data warehouse, [started as hackathon projects](/newsletter/hackathons.md).

We wanted to share this with you, so at our 2025 offsite in Tulum, Mexico we shot this hackathon documentary about one of our... defining features: Hedgehog Mode.

In [episode 1 of Ben Dreams of Hedgehogs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwUZRA0Y7xI), Ben White teams up with Lottie Coxon to convince people to realize Ben's dream of building a hedgehog-themed videogame.

Is this our next multi-million dollar product? No.

Was it a lot of fun? Absolutely.

You can watch the first episode below, or on [our YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwUZRA0Y7xI).

And if you'd like to participate in a PostHog hackathon, we're [always hiring](/careers.md).

> PostHog is your product's context layer. With a full suite of developer tools – [AI observability](/ai-observability.md), [product analytics](/product-analytics.md), [session replay](/session-replay.md), [feature flags](/feature-flags.md), [experiments](/experiments.md), [error tracking](/error-tracking.md), [logs](/logs.md), and more – PostHog ingests and stores all the data agents need to diagnose problems, uncover opportunities, and ship fixes. A [data warehouse](/context-warehouse.md) and [CDP](/cdp.md) tie it all together, unifying that context into one source agents can read across. You can steer it all from [Slack](/slack.md), [the web app](/ai.md), the desktop ([PostHog Desktop](/desktop.md)), or your own editor via [the MCP](/mcp.md).
