Particularly interested in functional programming and typing systems. I have a background in Cognitive Science/Psychology and Mathematics. Sadly halted due to physical and mental health issues arising from getting Covid. Which unfortunately hit me quite hard back on 2020. I'm still dealing with some sequels so I would prefer working from home. I find it fun trying to find insights that cut across disciplines. I tend to favor the "theoretical" side of things. But I also try to get as much hands-on experience as possible. I am writing a blog. Trying to share what I learn, and that others might find useful. I try to focus on the unique things I can bring to the table. Hoping to add value to the life of other developers. I always have a thousand ideas racing through my mind, so I don't have any trouble coming up with ideas on what to write. If any, I have a hard time cutting down on the number of things I want to write about :D On a personal note. I have always been quite solitary and introverted. But I don't think I'm shy. I love videogames and started programming because I wanted to make my own. ## Responses 3 Markdown supported · ⌘↵ to post [Jorge Romero](https://hashnode.com/@JorgeRL) [Mar 14, 2022](https://hashnode.com/posts/quick-i-need-a-cheap-trick-im-running-out-of-writing-ideas/622eb56038e0a0d99d32e097/comment/622f49cf38e0a0d99d32f897) [Swati Sarangi](https://hashnode.com/@starCodes) This is how I added my series. On the dashboard, in the "navbar" section ![Screen Shot 2022-03-14 at 7.41.47.png](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1647266112471/B0sAr2Tfxq.png) I can't post pictures on replies (I think), so I answered in a new comment XD [Swati Sarangi](https://hashnode.com/@starCodes) [Mar 14, 2022](https://hashnode.com/posts/quick-i-need-a-cheap-trick-im-running-out-of-writing-ideas/622eb56038e0a0d99d32e097/comment/622f49cf38e0a0d99d32f897#reply-622f51e138e0a0d99d32f98f) Thank you so much! I have added series to the navbar. I like the cute kitten pic :) [Swati Sarangi](https://hashnode.com/@starCodes) [Mar 14, 2022](https://hashnode.com/posts/quick-i-need-a-cheap-trick-im-running-out-of-writing-ideas/622eb56038e0a0d99d32e097/comment/622f0982df08b9b82341ab3d) It's definitely challenging to write on Hashnode every day as you would face writer's block soon. I had made this point in one of my earlier comments to which you shooed away in a very determined way. I can't even think of ideas to write for 7 days to maintain my weekly strike and here you are writing articles regularly with beautiful illustrations! I am sure at the end of this challenge you will be pro not just in writing but also in illustartions. [Jorge Romero](https://hashnode.com/@JorgeRL) [Mar 14, 2022](https://hashnode.com/posts/quick-i-need-a-cheap-trick-im-running-out-of-writing-ideas/622eb56038e0a0d99d32e097/comment/622f0982df08b9b82341ab3d#reply-622f4128df08b9b82341b37b) [Swati Sarangi](https://hashnode.com/@starCodes), It is never my intention to dismiss your struggle. As I know how that feels. I have spent almost half of my life, and all of my (short-lived) academic career trying to understand what creativity is. (and I still don't know XD) And have wanted to be creative for as long as I can remember. And I suffered for years, wanting, and not being able, to do creative things. I wanted to make videogames. But always was in a block (and I'm still. In particular, with videogames, I don't know why). I just want to see a world with more creativity. Please let me know if I can do anything to help you. I mean it!

My series don't appear as tabs in my front page.

Good one again [Jorge Romero](https://hashnode.com/@JorgeRL). 😊 In order to convert X to Y, I suggest using the Adapter design pattern. 😊 I also have an idea about what you should write😊: I always freak out whenever I open your referenced materials. 😊 Whenever I see the word abstract and then dozens of lines long one paragraph comes you completely lost me. These writings are not for humans. 😊 So my advice is, to sum up those articles in a fun way instead of the Official Mumbo Jumbo. The perfect example for this is Leandro Melendez's awesome book [The Hitchhiking Guide To Load Testing Projects: A Fun, Step-by-Step Walk-Through Guide](https://www.amazon.com/Hitchhiking-Guide-Testing-Projects-Step-ebook/dp/B09C4ZT1LB). By the way, I stole the expression Official Mumbo Jumbo from that book. 😊 [Miki Szeles](https://hashnode.com/@mszeles) [Mar 14, 2022](https://hashnode.com/posts/quick-i-need-a-cheap-trick-im-running-out-of-writing-ideas/622eb56038e0a0d99d32e097/comment/622ece0c38e0a0d99d32e384#reply-622f454138e0a0d99d32f818) No, it would help if you did not avoid the academic reference; only me is not interested in it. And I can easily surmount the temptation to click on it. 😊 Ok, I have to admit I am a curious guy, so that I will click on the link; in case you want to help me, write after the link in a parenthesis: Official Mumbo Jumbo.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 [Jorge Romero](https://hashnode.com/@JorgeRL) [Jorge Romero](https://hashnode.com/@JorgeRL) [Mar 14, 2022](https://hashnode.com/posts/quick-i-need-a-cheap-trick-im-running-out-of-writing-ideas/622eb56038e0a0d99d32e097/comment/622ece0c38e0a0d99d32e384#reply-622f4a35df08b9b82341b4bf) [Miki Szeles](https://hashnode.com/@mszeles) I like the idea. I'll have to write a post about the official mumbo jumbo XD [Miki Szeles](https://hashnode.com/@mszeles) [Mar 14, 2022](https://hashnode.com/posts/quick-i-need-a-cheap-trick-im-running-out-of-writing-ideas/622eb56038e0a0d99d32e097/comment/622ece0c38e0a0d99d32e384#reply-622f5f2cdf08b9b82341b6e3) Awesome! 😊[Jorge Romero](https://hashnode.com/@JorgeRL)
