The company has given you ten potential candidates for the position of chief executive officer (CEO), but it wants you to first gather data on the executives to help determine the best candidate. The candidates have been engaged in coaching and have also taken an emotional intelligence (EI) test. You suspect that variables such as years of experience as an executive, months of coaching, and years of education will all contribute to the scores on the emotional intelligence (EI) test, as well as the success of the right candidate. In this case, the higher the emotional intelligence (EI) score, the better. More business experience, higher education, more months with a coach, and higher emotional intelligence (EI) test scores indicate the better candidates. We are assuming the company has offered coaching in the past. The data of the emotional intelligence (EI) test conducted on the candidates is given in the table below:

I just read an article that I would like to share about the difference between hackers, programmers, engineers and computer scientists. I found the article interesting and can agree that titles in corporate America get interchanged a lot and I’ve seen this happen at where I work. What would you like your title to be? Read the article and give me your comments.

2: My thoughts around this is that the code actually has to know it’s broken or missing functionality so I would imagine this maybe some kind of way to automatically add code and compile on the fly. The questions I have is how it would handle documentation and versioning which is the painful part of human manual intervention. This discovery is supposed to free up developers to work on features versus updating code with bug fixes.
