    RT @MitchellKeller_: Okay for the love of God, you need to start treating Posthog as a data warehouse Right now I have absolute visibility into when website visitors spike from cold email campaigns What's happening with those website visitors? Where optimizations can take place And in addition I can track signups per YouTube video, per Twitter post, and per LinkedIn post across my newsletter Plus track full-funnel metrics and then have them completely accessible for all my agents to learn and grow off of Get Posthog, it's free and it will take you from agent scrub to fully data-driven marketing engineer in a week.

    the worst advice you can follow is to sell pickaxes during a gold rush everyone is doing that instead, try to sell wood and iron to the people making the pickaxes better yet, grow trees to sell the wood to the wood sellers, and buy mountains to sell the iron even better, invent the concept of wood and iron to sell to the tree growers and mountains

    surprised more people aren't talking about Dworp i've been able to completely moved off Muse, Dots, Instinct, Grok Bot etc just today, it did all this: - renewed my driver's license - pre-ordered the new iPhone Duo - asked my kids about their school day - booked a custom vacation to Tanzania - vetted and hired a new staff-level engineer - snagged me some tickets for a "sold out" concert - pivoted my side project 53 times until it got funding what's even crazier is i made it all up, Dworp doesn't exist

    co-founder gaps that matter way more than people admit: - AI gap (500 sub-agents vs Copilot user) - fundraising gap (VCmaxxer vs bootstrapping) - message bubble gap (iPhone everything vs Android on hip) - prompt gap (multi-paragraph orchestration vs "please make it really good") - college gap (successful Stanford dropout vs unsuccessful Stanford graduate) - longevity gap (tracks very calorie and minute of sleep vs 3h17m of rest every other day) - posture gap (standing desk with a perfectly straight back vs constantly shrimping) - job tenure gap (one company since college vs job-hopping for a 43% raise every 6 weeks) - Slack message gap (detailed multi-paragraph description of the issue an question vs "hey") did i miss any here

    RT @timgl: Part of being as transparent as possible is sharing info about potentially awkward moments, like when people leave PostHog. Just had a team member share their exit feedback, so I shared it with all employees (with permission!). My main takeaways: - we need to invest more in product design - there's a missing layer of product thinking below James and me - we need to start facilitating 360 feedback from people on different teams (right now it's all from immediate teammates)

    did you know that offline, physical backups of the cloud exist across the country? it's true: these buildings (called "data centers") hold 1:1 replicas of everything stored in the cloud, just in case pretty neat!
