That was fun! Here’s some of my favorite things we announced today at @Wealthsimple Presents. 1. Penny is your new private banker. It can send transfers, pay bills, flag duplicate charges, and buy & sell stocks — only after you approve every move. Use it in app or via email or text. 2. Virtual cards. Great for merchants you don't fully trust or subscriptions that might be tough to cancel. 3. Wealthsimple Pay: send up to $100,000 instantly and safely. That’s ~33x what most big banks allow on e-Transfer. 4. Business credit card. No FX fees, 1% cash back, and extra cards for your team. 5. Portfolio line of credit. Borrow at some of the lowest rates in Canada at the push of a button. 6. Perpetual futures and commission-free Canadian options. First in Canada. 7. Wealthsimple Pro: our most sophisticated trading interface. Free Level 2 data, live options chains, bracket orders from the main screen, and a fully customizable layout. 8. $CADD, a Canadian-dollar stablecoin with 3.25% APY rewards. And I can't wait to ship our beautiful+fast new mobile apps. Oh yeah, and we gave one lucky client a million dollars! Check out the full livestream here: youtube.com/live/MReTQMhB-FA…

$AAPL Weekly chart analysis on track 🎯💛🍌🍌🍌
Replying to @YazRabadi
$AAPL $SPY $QQQ AAPL - weekly chart analysis 💙 My target for this chart is party like it’s 🎯$199 Since Yaz wants to be in the lions den I’m adding this weekly target so if it hits we get to go down memory lane 😘 Everyone freaking out while it’s doing something called BASINGGGGG, exactly at the former S/R flip area (support resistance). It’s basing a second time known as a double bottoming pattern RSI has hit extreme levels and already regrouping from there. Notice it doesn’t want to hit extreme low lows which coincides with basing above the S/R flip, and MACd has a long reset and do a for a curl and then a bullish crosss and then 😘 Not financial advice! Much love 💙🍌🍌🍌

I'm consistently surprised by how the single act of doing this as an eng manager or product manager makes incredible waves: Send an email explaining what your team did the past 1-2 weeks, what your plans are for the next period, blockers & lessons learned. Every. Single. Time.

This is so applicable to all problems. Instead of “how do we improve <existing thing>”, we should always try “what is the underlying problem we are trying to solve?” - and then innovate
Asking the question "How to improve schools?" is a classic reasoning by analogy mistake. Schools are not a first principle. A better question: "How do we raise kids with the values, skills, and mindsets to flourish?"

This. Slack is like one big always happening meeting that you walk in and out of. Good async communication is collaborating on written docs and recorded videos.

Not just kids!
Downtime leads to creative ideas. Not back-to-back schedules. Kids *need* time and space to relax, reflect, and be bored by inactivity.
Super interesting thread. Finding time and energy for your own learning is really hard!
