Fuck me. I learned my first programming with matlab and vba. No fucking why I was traumatized

Whoever picks up that COBOL developer job won't be sad after they see their paycheck.

Regarding COBOL
It's still used in some systems especially in banking.
There are so few people that know it that you get paid quite a lot if you understand COBOL and can deploy on mainframes.

[memebroski]

I like how he made a dramatic pause before COBOL, but subtitles literally showed the whole sentence

[matloose]

Matlab is extremelly powerful if you use it for the tasks it was designed for. There is a reason why it is widely used by engineers and scientists.

Him trying to hype the last reveal

Subtitles: let me ruin it for u

[unos_apotheosis]

VBA was my first, it was fun since it was the first programming language that introduced me to the world of programming 🥰

[randydueck]

I remember the Y2K problem - some COBOL programmers were able to cash in on their 'obsolete' skills big time.

[GamingDad]

I know for a fact that a lot of banks still use COBOL.

[Croesquared]

MATLAB has by far the best documentation of any language I’ve used

[austinb]

People hugely underestimate the power of VBA. So many huge corporations need people to program macros. I got a job out of college where I used VBA more than any other language and made some really good money

I'm 33 years old and got fed up with web development in React.js, Express.js and Django, so I learned cobol. Best decision I ever made. I'm actually getting to develop lots of new things, and I get to work on systems that performs a lot of mission critical functions.

Php devs escaped this time

Edit im a php dev

[foxmccloud]

Lol and here's me with COBOL being the first language I ever dedicated myself to learning 😂

[JayJ-jegb]

Man really taking shots at Jenkins with that groovy call out

[cirobermudez]

Matlab has a great community, and great tutorials on the official web page, the only down side is that is not free and is very expensive. But for quick prototyping and engineering is amazing, for filter design and control design is one of the best tools. I think that some times people skip the learning curve that involves grabbing a new language and start a bad relationship with the language. I love matlab but a understand why some people hate it.

[damiandeza]

Learning Matlab in the university was pretty cool, all variables are a type of matrix and you can do matrix operations in a flash, learned a lot of image manipulation (same as you can do with opencv now days) as well as having lots of cool modules such as Simulink to build complex mechanical simulations with block diagrams, modifying inputs and checking outputs, and also biochem modules and biological simulations as well. But... The scripts were slow as hell. In conclusion, python wins hahaha

[RichyG_YT]

I’m very surprised that VB is in here, I learned basic on a C64, then basic on DOS then moved into visual basics for excel and also the standalone version. I did learn C, C++ and C + Turbo but it just felt that basic was easier to use. I made HTML editors, Fruit/slot machines/ other games too, also database for a cashing check shop. Picture editing programs, hand writing recognition and programs to link with LCD displays. Probably a lot more I don’t remember over the years but I personally found it easy to use.

I taught myself BASIC on a Commodore Vic 20. When I got my programming degree in 1987, the primary language was COBOL, because the main employer in the area was state government, and they all had IBM mainframes. COBOL was pretty universal. IBM had only released their first PC a couple of years before. I coded in COBOL until 2001, when I was offered a chance to transition to Windows Server applications programming in VB6. That was great, but when we transitioned to C#, it was even better. That's what I coded in until I retired in 2016.
But I actually liked COBOL. It was great for batch programming and OLTP. It was quite procedural, but later, after I left COBOL, IBM created a version that had objective features. I never used it, but I suspect it might have been interesting.

How the hell do you put Matlab up there, Matlab is used for adding some extra logic into math compared for these general purpose languages
