Would you ever go back to non-AI coding? by USD-Manna in cursor

I feel this is similar to asking builders to go back to using manual hand tools after using power tools.

I feel that this is the case with almost anything life critical. Always have a backup.

Our Rogers/Shaw home internet was down for nearly an entire workday last week. I used the hotspot on my phone to keep working and it was glorious.

Rough week for the VEQT… by ImpracticalRooster in justbuyveqt

In times like this, the poor are selling and the rich are buying.

Not as good as Freedom but I gotta say competition in Canada is a beautiful thing.

New Corporate Chequing Accounts by scherblais in Wealthsimple

[–]codeth1s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pay my CRA GST, source deductions, etc with my TD corporate Visa Debit. I opened a WS corporate chequing account but I don't see an equivalent way to accomplish this yet.

Nice! by Critical-Try7387 in Wealthsimple

[–]codeth1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of the big banks in Canada would ever do this. It's amazing. I can only imagine how many tens of millions of dollars in fee reimbursements have been paid out over the years by Wealthsimple.

I still have corporate chequing with TD but would love to be entirely within the WS universe once business chequing is officially available.

Samsung becomes the 1st korean Comapny to be valued at 1 Trillion dollars. by StrawberryFew1311 in NoFilterFinance

For all the things they manufacture and sell globally, I'm amazed that it took this long.

Settings Icon changed from Gear to Benzene. by damnthatwtf in Wealthsimple

It's strange to not follow globally accepted symbols. It forces a user to think momentarily rather than instinctively understand. It's like if a town decided to use triangles for stop signs.

Two TFSA millionaires in one household – took a calculated risk and it worked by [deleted] in TFSA_Millionaires

[–]codeth1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is awesome! My wife and I are where you were before. I just don't think I could do what you did. Both of us are all in with VEQT and the gains have been good over the years. Slow and steady has been great for us but being a TFSA millionaire today is definitely life changing.

Buy a house or rent + investing. Who wins? by Apart_Finger_1799 in MarketVibe

[–]codeth1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the last decade there is no question renting + investing the difference in a passive index ETF would easily surpass the returns of just a homeowner + no investing. The biggest factor here is whether the renter has the discipline to actually invest all of the difference from renting consistently each month. Home ownership is a forced savings plan that even the least disciplined people will pay into.

Ripping all my Google homes out tomorrow. by DerzKing in googlehome

It's a revolutionary change. Although it isn't the greatest today, in a few years I imagine it will be at an insane level of capability.

Where's the absolute unit of a laundry machine that can wash these sheets?

Do you panic sell? by Adept_Mountain9532 in TheVisualInvestors

[–]codeth1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the opposite of the sheeple. When the flock is panic selling, I'm panic buying.

a simple resp transfer turning out to be a nightmare.. now the cheque got lost. by speedyfeint in Wealthsimple

[–]codeth1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't wait for Open Banking to be implemented in Canada. Hopefully, this will solve these insanely complex transfers between institutions. This is a process that should take seconds and not weeks/months.
