## What Jamie wrote

This is pretty amazing! Atlassian just gave up in the team chat space.

> As part of this partnership, Atlassian will discontinue Hipchat and Stride, and provide a migration path to Slack for all their customers.

> Taking out a competitor is good for Slack, said Butterfield: “There’s fewer choices for people.”

Slack has more leverage to raise prices. 💰
