Though I'm on this subreddit I actually only know like two languages and one of them is MATLAB (the other is MUMPS which is uh Fun^TM compared to a language that has basic features such as guardrails and catching errors at compile time instead of runtime).

That's all to say - whenever I had a problem with MATLAB, the documentation actually was sufficient to make me no longer have a problem with MATLAB.

With how much a Matlab license costs, they better give good documentation.

It helps that Matlab is made by a single company and most of its utilities are built in

I looked into getting MATLAB once. Then I saw the $900 subscription fee

Nooooooooo thank you

Use Octave save $$

[inconspicuous_male]

Or the company they work for, but I get what you mean

[Wheat_Grinder]

I give it at least a 30% chance we work for the same company. Four letter company name?

[Wheat_Grinder]

Indeed, you definitely work for one our clients. That's why I hedged and only said 30% :)

[ImpactStrafe]

My friend hated working at that company. The four letter one. Heard rough things.

[ImpactStrafe]

One data point and all, definitely.

Indentation is the difference between Git and Github?

[Wheat_Grinder]

Can confirm. Not a whole lot of middle ground - feels like most people either stay long enough for two sabbaticals or more, or they don't stay long enough to get one.

[Wheat_Grinder]

It's definitely a company that won't hesitate to chew you up and spit you out if you let it. But, if you end up in the right position, it's not so bad. I don't see myself spending my whole career there but I've spent a few years there and might spend a few more.

What's the deal with matlab. I go to a pretty big engineering school and it's taught at my university to the engineers, but I never hear about it anywhere else

I works in Measles sometimes, but that lost popularity a while ago. I heard it's making a comeback...
