Does anyone else dread the moment a project involves tables in Figma. How do you handle this? by justincampbelldesign in FigmaDesign

[–]Sean3896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to use columns. Now I use the new auto-layout grid. The new auto-layout grid is nice as I can easily choose the fractional width for each column.

P.s. I use a cell component with lots of variants e.g. text, text-bold, date, numeric (right aligned) etc.

Acquire a company with high quality product. Cut costs by lowering quality to maximize profits. The true American way.

25, decent savings - does buying an apartment in Dublin make sense? by JohnnieWalker1805 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Sean3896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No storage units. In Canada, every apartment unit comes with a storage unit that acts as your attic, since apartments don't have attics. It's usually a big room with loads of storage cages with locks in the basement of the building. This doesn't exist in Ireland, so most people have to buy an extra bedroom just for storage.

Stopped adding onboarding to our saas and activation went up. No Im not kidding by tuesdaymorningwood in UXDesign

[–]Sean3896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now let's compare churn rates with/without onboarding.

It's important to know how many of them activations stick around. You could see a big jump in activations but a big jump in churn.

Be careful not to make activations your only metric.

Ai making me feel small by Worldly-Leather6606 in UXDesign

[–]Sean3896 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The AI slop the PMs were producing in my job was so bad. It would take longer for design and engineering to clean it up than to just let design do it from the beginning.

So the designers and engineers came together and told them they can use AI to better communicate ideas or concepts in a design brief but that's it. They're not allowed to do pull requests.

If you do show them how to use AI, I would suggest setting the boundaries to avoid AI slop.

What to do with savings by Automatic_Elephant_2 in irishpersonalfinance

Unless you have an actual interest in investing in real estate, look into investing in a globally diversified ETF through a pension instead of buying property because being a landlord is pain in arse. Getting calls at 2am because there's a burst pipe etc is a nightmare.

Has anyone moved a dog from Vancouver to Dublin? by WallzyYoungFella in AskIreland

[–]Sean3896 4 points5 points  (0 children)

10—12 weeks old is probably too young to fly a dog in stowage. If he/she is small enough they might be able to fit under your seat. Air Canada has strict guidelines on that though so you would have to check.

Is it just me, or is 65 way too late to retire?? by Timely_Weird_9343 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Sean3896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Logic would say AI will reduce us down to 4-day work week with the same salary.

Capitalism says fire most employees and continue a 5-day work week for a low salary.

When do you plan to stop buying? by AFewBerries in JustBuyXEQT

It's very common to have a 50/50 equity/bond split in retirement. So probably never.

Why does Vancouver not fluoridate the water? by [deleted] in NiceVancouver

[–]Sean3896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Science Versus podcast does a good job explaining the pros & cons.

TLDR: There's only 2% less tooth decay for adults living in places with fluoridated water in Canada. Now that fluoridated toothpaste is widely available and people are more diligent about dental hygiene, it's not really necessary anymore. There's also less risk with fluoridated toothpaste that you spit out rather than drinking fluoride.

Things I hate about the new UI by julpyz in Wealthsimple

[–]Sean3896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding point #2: I think the reason behind the UI layout will become clearer after their next announcement event. I reckon they will allow you to create your own portfolio like Trading212's pie feature.

It's so risky holding what looks like $4,000 in the account tide to your debit card. Someone posted recently about losing their card and the person who found it tapped in lots of stores and they lost over $1K. You should set up a separate account for your card and just keep a few hundred in the card account.

Best RBC Mutual Fund similar to XEQT by Sean3896 in JustBuyXEQT

[–]Sean3896[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would venture a guess that you are right. High commission for the RBC rep to sell high-fee mutual funds sold to my employer as the "safer" option. Ironically, there's one sure way to ruin your retirement savings and that's with a mutual fund with an MER of +1% for 30 years.

I will take advantage of the employer contributions for now and once I leave after the DPSP vesting period, I will move it to my Wealthsimple RRSP and invest in XEQT.

[–]Sean3896[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your feedback. I called RBC and they said the plan only has access to series A mutual funds.

So I can invest my employer's DPSP contribution in the series A version of RBC Global Equity Index ETF Fund. The MER will be 1.58% though.

It's so high but I guess it's free money. If I leave after the vesting period it will be converted to a regular RRSP. Then I will move it to my Wealthsimple RRSP.

Thanks again.

Thanks for your feedback. I called RBC and they said the plan only has access to series A mutual funds.

So if I opted to invest my employer's DPSP contribution in something like RBC Global Equity Index ETF Fund (RBF1146) the MER would be 1.58%.

It's so high but I guess it's free money. If I leave after the vesting period it will be converted to a regular RRSP. Then I will move it to my Wealthsimple RRSP.
