    I used an approach similar to Peter's here to both an old streaming parsing library as well as a GUI (event handling) library -- effectively, re-use the same instance of the event …

    When I think of what a FinTech darling Wealthfront was when it came out, all I can see this is as a colossal flop. For what it's worth... About a year ago I opened a robo-advisor a…
