All-hands topic of the day

Someone from presents a topic of the day each week in the company all hands - it isn't always the same person. The main objective of this is to repeat and reinforce key messages:

An element of repetition is important because a) we are regularly adding new people to the team, and b) just hearing a message once is not enough for it to stick. 'Repetition' does not mean literally saying the same words over and over again - it's more about finding examples of things people are doing or working on, and showing how those tie back to the bigger picture of what's important at PostHog.

We generally avoid using the topic of the day to announce new things, as these should be done async. Sometimes the topic goes deeper on a recent announcement, e.g. why we cut pricing for X.

The format varies week to week. Sometimes it's a talk, sometimes we invite demos - anyone can be asked or volunteer - and sometimes it's more curated around a particular theme. There is always time for anyone to ask any question.

If you did anything you want to share to everyone, you can volunteer and present it after the topic of the day (unless there is a specific set of demos that day). Demos are not limited to product work, and can be anything you did that's significant for PostHog and worth sharing. A customer story, customer win, changes in how a team works, event, handbook update... Code is not the only thing worth demoing.

If you have a topic or theme you'd like covered, ask in the #team-blitzscale channel in Slack.
