Last time I checked, Posthog self hosted was basically unusable. They have a hobby deployment script which just pulls the latest build from master which varies from “somewhat works” to “completely broken”

It's hard for me to express how much I dislike their marketing website. Sometimes when you have a "cool idea" you should sit with it a moment and then pull back.
I'm a fan of the posthog product but agree with the site. I appreciate the retro styling and all but opening all the windows for everything is disorienting and kinda breaks web navigation that we have all gotten used to for the past 30 years.
Hey, Rafa from PostHog here :) We've always been open source, so I'm not sure I understand what this is about! This is linking to our `posthog-foss` repository which has been a thing for years now, it's simply the main repository without the `ee/` folder - which is not a folder we have a lot inside anyways, we've never tried hiding anything behind it intentionally. edit: the title originally read "Posthog has been op…

I have a weird memory of PostHog. I remember applying sometime ago, not really knowing what they did. They then spammed me with marketing mail, now they're open-sourced and had received a (supposedly marketing) job posting? Granted in this entire history I had no idea what their product was. Seems flakey, but I haven't used it.
Why would you apply to a job for a company you don't even know what they do?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
PostHog has always been open source. I'm not sure why this has been shared on HN at all.
I thought the same thing. What changed, if anything?
