Thank you for the encouragement and concern Eleftheria Batsou it means a lot! I'm glad you like what I have to share!

Hi Roshaan thank you so much for those kind words. They really mean a lot to me.

I'm also new to Hashnode XD

Thank you for your kind words Kaushal Joshi!

Thank you for those kind words Randy Knight.

I think you hit the nail in the head. While the science consist of plain statistics, the human factor is always present. While it's a good idea to take scientific findings into account, the best way to network is the way you are compelled to.

We are building human connections anyways, not connecting dots in a graph. But I think the insight I shared fits nicely with our human needs. Thats why I decided to share!

Thank you for the tutorial naveenkumar j!

It really helps my self-esteem having a pro-looking GitHub profile!

Of course we are pals!

Looking forward to learn some Hungarian!

With regards to drawing apps. There is an app called Infinite Painter both on Android and iOS that is almost exactly the same in terms of features and ease of use as Procreate (the app I use), which is iOS exclusive.

There is also Autodesk Sketchbook both for Android and iOS. This is more geared towards sketching and industrial drawing. Whereas Procreate and Infinite Painter are targeted for artists.

Really, any of them is pretty good.

In case you would prefer to work on a PC, there is Krita, which is open source. And one of the best digital paint apps out there. In my opinion even better than Photoshop. An even simpler pc alternative is My Paint. It is really good, and it is as simple as it gets.

Regardless of the option you choose I highly recommend using either a pressure-sensitive stylus or a graphics tablet. I use an Apple Pencil on the iPad, and a Wacom intuos on my computer. They are nice, but in no way necessary. I used to draw with my fingers XD

Also a pro tip for your drawing adventures: use the "lazy mouse" feature that most apps have in some form or another, to get some really clean-looking lines!

Miki Szeles I would ask Elon Musk if he has a job for me! I heard he wants people who can think critically. hehehe

On the other hand, I would ask him if he knows about Embodied Cognition and more generally the "4E Cognition" school in cognitive science. And If he would like to discuss the problems it poses for projects like Neuralink.

I know, it sounds dry and academic, but I like that stuff XD

Thanks for the advice Jorge Romero. I will check Infinite Painter. For my phone I only have a non pressure sensitive stylus.

On PC it is different. Being also a photographer I have the Adobe Subscription for Photographers, which provides access to Photoshop and Lightroom. I even bought a displayeless drawing tablet with 8192 different pressure value, but up till now, I did not use it too often. 😊

Regarding Elon Musk: I thought my English is good up till I started to read the article you mentioned. 😊

I only understood half of the sentences and being long as hell I gave up after a few pharagraphs. 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much for the feedback Swati! I really appreciate it.

Writing really helps with depression. There's some interesting psychology behind it. In my case, not doing (or not being able to do) stuff is what really depresses me.

I have some disappointingly cheap tricks for coming up with ideas to write about. I used work on academic research on creativity, so I picked up a couple of tricks!

I'll make sure to share some in the future XD
