1/ Responding to a question from @bzargarcia that I appreciate, because I don’t think people know how disciplined, process-oriented, and thoughtful the team at Betterment are about portfolio construction. I don’t think we talk about it enough. So I’m gonna talk about it now.
Can you give examples of how/when you would fundamentally change the securities in Betterment portfolio? For example, give up on value premium, REITs, etc.

Impugning speaker's motivation has its place, though maybe not as the default mode. Substantively then—if anything, it's lean startups vs incumbents w/ massive regulatory resources. Poking the bear with aggressive marketing makes life harder for the entire B2C fintech ecosystem.

Rails isn't the right tool for every jobs, but I still chuckle when startups explicitly avoid it because it "doesn't scale": engineering.shopify.com/blog…
