The part of this that never ceases to amaze me is the Butterfield playbook for accidentally successful startups seems to involve making an online games company of some kind, which fails, and then pivoting it into something quite different.
Doing this once is mad enough, but twice? He should be made to try again purely for science.

For me it’s not even just the pivot, but the internal tool they built incidentally that’s the product they pivot too.
Ev Williams has a similar playbook.
My favorite thing said about Ev Williams: with Twitter then Medium, he managed to kill blogging _twice._
