Sorry, what "successful products"?

And I have to say that "Technical Content Marketer " is one of the most dubious job titles I have ever seen.

Posthog is pretty successful! But since it isn't strictly necessary, perhaps we can make this thread more meaningful by removing success from the title above.
Well, I'd never heard about it before today, but that may be just my bad, as I'm not really much into web stuff. But when I see something like this (from the top of their website):

> The single platform to analyze, test, observe, and deploy new features

my reaction is "Wha?"

But what the hell - though I do think the job title is bad, but then I've had a few of those myself.

I never let startups get away with "The" on Hacker News when I see it. I always replace it with "A" :)
On their homepage, they have their own logo in the section listing companies that use their products. I mean, if you dogfood it, great, but it doesn't exactly instill confidence if you have to reach for your own company to fill out the list.
We use PostHog for site analytics - it's a good product. IDK about popularity, but it's a joy to use.
They have customer testimonials here which have more companies than the front page: https://posthog.com/customers
Seems like a perfectly good description of someone whose job it is to achieve marketing goals by creating content for a technical audience.
They list a few products on their home page: https://posthog.com/products

I've used PostHog and it's pretty good. I don't know if I'd classify all of those as different products, you rarely want one of those without the other.
