Emotional intelligence and key principles to increase your capacity to succeedcaptsumit
Emotional intelligence (EI) is important for project managers to develop in order to succeed in their careers. There are five key areas of EI: 1) self-awareness, 2) self-management, 3) social awareness, 4) relationship management, and 5) team leadership. Developing self-awareness, which is understanding one's own emotions, is critical as it allows one to better relate to others and identify things that trigger emotional reactions. Keeping a daily journal of experiences and emotions can help improve self-awareness over time by recognizing patterns in one's reactions. Mastering emotional intelligence leads to stronger relationships, better management of change and conflicts, and greater career success.
This document discusses different types of intelligence and factors that influence intelligence. It begins by defining intelligence as the ability to learn, understand, think logically, and problem solve. There are said to be 8 types of intelligence including linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. Factors that can increase intelligence include deep thinking, good reasoning, learning from experiences, and practicing. The document also discusses whether differences in intelligence are due to nature (heredity) or nurture (environmental influences). It describes cognitive intelligence as intellectual abilities and emotional intelligence as understanding one's own and others' emotions. Emotional intelligence is argued to be more

How to separate learning myths from realityYogesh Bhat
1) Many corporate training programs are based on common myths and misconceptions about how the brain works that are contradicted by scientific evidence.
2) Three prominent myths are the idea of a critical period in childhood after which learning declines, the theory that parts of the brain are idle at any given time, and the concept of rigid learning styles.
3) Neuroscience has shown that the brain remains plastic and capable of learning throughout life, the entire brain is active depending on the task, and people learn best through engaging multiple senses rather than a single preferred style. Companies should re-evaluate training programs in light of the scientific facts.
The Applied Neurosciences Lab uses neuroscientific tools like eyetracking and EEG biofeedback coupled with qualitative research to study how the brain processes information. They analyze stimuli like images, videos, and digital interfaces to understand what catches people's attention and is easy to understand. This helps optimize products, services, and communications. The lab provides data-driven recommendations in areas like marketing, advertising, and user experience design.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

2. Why l’m writing the book and why now?
This book helps solve an increasing
global problem in the Digital Era:
How to manage Digital Distraction and
Dependency to live a life of value and
purpose by giving spiritual and scientific
hacks to live a conscious co-existence
with Technology.
To address the increasing Mental Health
disorders that are arising from living in
the Digital Matrix; stress, anxiety,
dissatisfaction, distraction and stuck-
ness people are experiencing from an
unhealthy balance of Technology
overload.
WHO NEEDS THIS?
Research is showing that Generation X
(18-39 year olds -The Millennials are
burning out quicker. With Generation Y
39-53 feeling unsatisfied, displaced and
searching for meaning.
MY AIM
To offer alternative thinking solutions
and practices (hacks) by looking at and
combining the fields of Spirituality,
Science, Psychology and AI.
Creating a fresh awareness that will
upgrade our understanding of what
makes us a Human and help us find that
connectivity and meaning that maybe
getting lost in the Digital Matrix so that
we can live a life of value by designing a
Conscious and balanced co-existence
with Technology - SOUL SAVVY.
3. Our current
relationship with
Technology & why
its’ important to
consider the
personal ,
economical and
societal implications
• The new challenges that we are facing from Technology and the
state of the world are effecting:
• The way we communicate and interact in every domain of our
lives is changing due to the constantly evolving technology.
• Our social intelligence and skills in how we interact human to
human.
• Considerations:
• Technology +the impact on Well-being
• Will the rise of technology gradually change our values and in
the process change our own feelings of self-worth?
4. What is Digital
Dependency
and
Distraction?
• FOMO (fear of missing out) a ‘technoference
syndrome’ both feeds, and is fed by, a speeding
up of life that is being driven by digital technology
(Digital distraction).
• Waiting and fearing not seeing an email or news
story (or not seeing it promptly enough), and
missing out (even briefly) on some bit of latest
information.
• Compels an increased tendency of checking of
digital devices in the process triggering low self-
esteem, addiction, obsession, anxiety, obsessive
comparison disorder.
5. The positives, negatives and challenges of
using Digital/Technology social media
Positives:
Can ignite inspiration,
creativity towards the
life we want to live.
Can be used to inform
and educate.
Negatives:
Can damage self-
esteem and self-worth
by constant
comparison to others.
Can give a false sense
of reality.
6. The Positives, Negatives and
Challenges of living with Technology
Our connection with social
media throws up some very
important questions:
Why do we feel the need to
increase our frequency of
looking at social media?
Is this reflecting a lack of
connection we’re feeling in
real life? By constantly adding
images for example of
instagram? (Unless it’s
educational in some way)
Are we searching for meaning
to lead a more fulfilling life?
Are we getting lost in the
virtual reality which makes
our human connections more
difficult?
Are we losing who we are in
the process?
7. The 4 D’s
(Disruptions) to
Inspiration
Creativity
Adaptability
Motivation
Performance
Stress & Anxiety
Distractibility, Disengagement,
Disconnection, Dissociation
All cause deficits in our ability to narrow focus,
broaden focus, sustain focus, and shift focus.
8. The hidden enemy
Algorithms have powerful implications for how we live.
Algorithms are decision-
making bits of code.
They have become an
important presence in
our lives.
Just like algorithms.
Beliefs whether
conscious or unconscious
directly influence your
life.
They make decisions
about us, and for us, all
the time and they
influence our choices,
behaviours and
interactions with others
personally and
professionally.
Chamath Palihapitiya,
former Vice President of
User Growth at
Facebook. Expressed
guilt over how “The
short-term, dopamine-
driven feedback loops
they created are
destroying how society
works.’
Highlighting that smartphones
and the social media platforms
they support are turning us
into bona fide addicts.
Algorithms to leverage
our dopamine-driven
reward circuitry, they
stack our brains against
us.
So spending less time on
your phone could help
your brain and creativity!
Doing things like disabling your
notifications for social media apps
and keeping your display in black
and white will reduce your
phone’s ability to grab and hold
your attention.
9. Digital
Effects on the
Brain:
Inspiration,
Creativity,
Motivation,
&
Performance
Dopamine functions both as a hormone and a neurotransmitter, and plays
several important roles in the brain and body. It is a molecule that our body
produces naturally, and it’s the substance inspires creativity and inspiration as
well as motivation, attention, learning, and addiction but to name a few.
Major dopamine pathways. As part of the reward pathway, dopamine is
manufactured in nerve cell bodies located within the ventral tegmental
area (VTA) and is released in the nucleus accumbens and the prefrontal cortex.
The motor functions of dopamine are linked to a separate pathway, with cell
bodies in the substantia nigra that manufacture and release dopamine into
the dorsal striatum.
VTA plays an important role in a number of processes, including cognition,
memory, reward, motivation
nucleus accumbens - learning, addiction and encoding new motor
programmes (movement for dancers)
prefrontal cortex PFC plays an important role in personality and expression
substantia nigra (SN) is a basal ganglia structure located in the midbrain that
plays an important role in reward and movement.
10. Effects of DD &
DP on the Brain
and Dopamine
in:
Inspiration
Creativity
Adaptability
Motivation
Performance
The human brain contains four major dopamine “pathways,” or connections
between different parts of the brain that act as highways for chemical
messages called neurotransmitters.
Each pathway has its own associated cognitive and motor (movement)
processes.
Dopamine is tied to your reward center, so if you don’t feel interested in
specific activities or learning certain subjects, then dopamine levels will
decrease in your prefrontal cortex. If this happens, then your brain will not
feel the motivation to remember the facts presented to you.
Three of these pathways—the mesocortical, mesolimbic, and nigrostriatal
pathways—are considered our “reward pathways” and have been shown to
be dysfunctional in most cases of addiction. They are responsible for the
release of dopamine in various parts of the brain, which shapes the activity
of those areas.
11. The Impact of
Technology on
Creativity in Design:
An Enhancement?

8691.2010.00560.
Technology may be considered as an interface between individuals and the
products they create, but we have to determine whether the use of new
systems effectively enhance individuals' creative activities.
Thi paper presents a new angle of reflection that illustrates in the field of
creative design, since it is a constant challenge for designers to introduce
creativity in the projects they work on.
The approach we propose is centred on designers' cognitive processes. We
argue that both the development of new CAD (computer-aided design)
systems and their assessment should be conducted on the basis of a deep
understanding of designers' cognitive processes.
In accordance with this view, we present three empirical studies that were
conducted in order to analyse the impact of new design support systems on
designers' cognitive processes. Therefore, the results we present contribute
to further our knowledge of whether new CAD technologies effectively
facilitate designers' activities and enhance their creativity.
12. The Hidden Enemy - Digital exposure (areas of
the brain effected)
Functions of
dopamine on
creativity & attention
Dopamine allows you
to keep focused and
pay attention. It works
by responding to vision
(the optic nerves),
which causes you to
direct your attention
to any specific task or
activity.
This neurotransmitter
may be responsible for
what content stays in
your short-term
memory, a portion of
your prefrontal cortex
associated with
immediate attention.
Lack of dopamine is
characteristic in
disorders where there
is little to no
motivation.
Functions of
dopamine on
personality
One of the personality traits
that define us most is our level
of extraversion. Extraversion has
two main components: social
interaction and impulsivity. This
trait is highly dependent on
dopamine. Several studies show
that impulsive people activate
dopamine circuits quicker than
others.
