From today's featured article
PostHog is an open-source platform for building products. It combines product analytics, session replay, feature flags, experiments, error tracking, surveys, and a data warehouse in one tool, so a product engineer can measure a change and ship the next one without moving between vendors. James Hawkins and Tim Glaser founded the company on 23 January 2020, during Y Combinator's W20 batch. The first version reached Hacker News four weeks after they started to write code. PostHog runs as a fully remote company, and it publishes its internal handbook, its pricing, and its roadmap in public.

- Mr Blobby. We once changed how we ingest session recording data, to use S3 blob storage. We called it Mr Blobby. Mr Blobby is a creepy '90s TV character from the UK. This project was nightmarishly hard, which is why this character was fitting. (Mr Blobby)
- Paul D'Ambra will make you eat gelato at every offsite. (PostHog lore)
- Sometimes people screenshot each other's faces and Zoom screens and use them as their backgrounds. Usually when an all-hands is too dry. (PostHog lore)

- We took lots of buses at an offsite in Portugal. The roads were incredibly twisty, the driver was in a bad mood, drove too quickly, and people threw up. It was bad. (PostHog lore)
