In this episode of Secure Disclosure, James Hawkins, the co-founder and co-CEO of PostHog, dives into the "radical transparency" that turned a pivoted startup into a billion-dollar open-source powerhouse. James shares his unfiltered thoughts on why most B2B software pricing is a scam, why "collaboration" is often just a form of procrastination, and how AI is fundamentally changing the role of the engineer from a code-writer to a product-architect. The conversation gets spicy as they discuss the security risks of open-source software in the age of AI, the controversy surrounding "vibe coding," and PostHog’s ambitious bet on a future where you might code via Slack, or even a phone call.
