Some day, Stewart Butterfield will launch a gaming company that is successful in the gaming space instead of becoming the inspiration for an entirely unrelated startup.
Butterfield needs to fail at an enterprise app so his side game blows up.
Fun fact: Tiny Speck was actually Stewart Butterfield's second game company.
His first game company also didn't do well, so they pivoted to release Flickr.

I simultaneously wishes for him to continue trying to make video games, and to continue failing to do so. Seems to be working pretty well.
