I find Posthog interesting because it launched around the same time (2020ish) as Stan.Store. Not Posthog is a technically much more challenging product and is more geared towards developers and yet in terms of ARR it is at 10 million whereas Stan.Store which is basically link in bio + a very basic store is doing 25 million ARR. Goes to show, selling to developers is really hard. Hopefully Posthog makes it in the long term, but graphing time spent vs returns, something like Stan.Store will make the founder + investors a lot more money in a shorter time period.

> selling to developers is really hard. Yes, software wise, we either take open source stuff or write our own stuff. There are just very little in between that can be monetized.. unless it bundles with hardware like ChatGPT.

  Cynical take: Selling software to developers is hard partly because the customer is more likely to notice when the product functionality (as opposed to marketing) doesn't really do what they need.

    From my experience: that is not the problem selling to developers

To give a counter point: replacing stan.store takes a day, while replacing posthog can take a year
