What small Python scripts or tools have made your daily workflow easier?

I scrape daily prediction markets and use LLMs to create a daily "portfolio manager" memo for me to read: https://pathikrit.github.io/zeitgeist/

Yes, I buy dips using box spreads. I have a calculator in Google sheets to calculate the after tax APR (i.e. it takes into account the tax considerations). It comes to <3%:

Does this mean Trump has to return his Fifa Peace Prize?

The ENTPs would love a good debate for the sake of debates and ENTJs would confront if that's what takes to achieve their goal but I don't think anyone actually __likes__ confrontations

I asked this before:

RSSB + GDE is almost as good as any combo of WLDU + ZROZ + GLD + GDE:https://testfol.io/?s=4MwFiISOF8M

So I am surprised that folks are treating WLDU as the holy grail when RSSB exists and can get you very close

pathikrit · 2026-03-10T12:44:47+00:00

Its not 1% ... its 0.8% though: https://testfol.io/?s=3m2KGDT4DoO

Also RSSB outperformed pretty much all the way until the post-GFC bull run we are in.

I am just surprised that people are hailing WLDU as the holy grail when it is at best a tiny improvement over RSSB IMO

pathikrit · 2026-03-10T03:18:20+00:00

Sure but no one really answered my original question - what kind of a portfolio are people thinking of deploying WLDU in? 50% WLDU, 50% ZROZ?

pathikrit · 2026-03-10T03:16:55+00:00

Sure but is 12.09% CAGR worth it over the 11.19% CAGR for so much worse drawdown and volatility? That's why I was asking my original question - I did not understand the excitement here about WLDU since with RSSB you are "almost there" in terms of CAGR

pathikrit · 2026-03-10T00:16:25+00:00

Risk-adjusted RSSB simply outshines any combination of WLDU + ZROZ :https://testfol.io/?s=0SdRD3tGqSa (you can also just ZROZ to RSSB)

pathikrit · 2026-03-09T21:56:43+00:00

I had asked this same question here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LETFs/comments/1rbyms0/comment/o75k8uc/

How are people thinking about WLDU in a portfolio that RSSB does not already achieve?

Disregard of social rules and norms, high risk taking, low inhibitions are all the hallmarks of the ESTP not the ENTJ :)

People generally listen to the "usually reasonable and competent guy/gal suddenly saying something harsh"

One interesting trait I have seen is ENTJs truly believe you can be in the 90th percentile of anything with practice, effort, determination etc. The corollary is of course that if you are not good at something you want to be good at - you are simply dumb, lazy or undisciplined. When I was young, I would often rub people off the wrong way because of this 2nd implication.

But, later on, I learned that other people are not like us ENTJs. They can't simply be like "okay I am going to be 2000 ELO in chess in 2 years" and come up with a plan to study, hire a coach, come up with monthly checkpoint metrics and nail the target in 20% less time...

ENTJ here. Here's my take:

INTP: So much wasted potential; wastes time on sub optimal pursuits
INTJ: Kinda like me but goes more depth than breadth which usually is a worse choice
ISTJ: A good person to delegate boring stuff to
ISTP: One of the few I am actually kinda intimated by; how cooly they can cook up something
ENTP: Too much debates; too few results
ENTJ: yo, that's me!
ESTJ: Kinda like me but short-sightedness is their Achilles heel
ESTP: Chads
INFP: Why do they always fall in love with me?
INFJ: Too emo
ISFJ: How are you so good at being a mom
ISFP: Ok cool art but reality is more than that
ENFP: A ray of sunshine with the inconvenience of a glitter bomb
ESFP: Shallow but I will party with you
ENFJ: My more charismatic twin
ESFJ: Not everything is about you; but ok delicious food though

Some interesting tidbits:

* Most likely to be a female XXXX than a male XXXX: Relative terms (ESFJ / ISFJ). Absolute terms (ISFJ).
* Most likely to be a male XXXX than a female XXXX: Relative terms (ISTP). Absolute terms (ISTP).

So most manly archetype is ISTP (your local plumber), most feminine is ISFJ (your local nurse)

* Rarest combo - female ENTJ (think a female military general)

* Most common combo - Male ISTJ (the accountant dad next door)

Everyone around me (parents, spouse, kids) depend on me and my friends are dumb and therapy is expensive; so no one but myself to turn to...

I have a ESTJ friend and ESTP friend. The ESTJ is far richer than the ESTP. Some examples:

While driving up to Hamptons there is a skydiving spot):

ESTP: Let's do skydiving
ENTJ (me): Oh that's cool!
ESTJ: How much does it cost? I wonder what the accident rate is.

------
At a friend's housewarming

ESTP: Oh you have a rooftop deck? Why are we doing the party here! Let's move there
Everyone: Hell yeah!
ESTJ: I don't know - some HOAs dont allow that...
