How interested would psych/neuro/cogsci tweeps be in a write up about how to solve this and related problems regarding coding in our fields?https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/842794088315404288 …

disagree, matlab is really quite an important pillar of toxic structure to dismantle
if 'twas just matlab then you'd see the same problem in R or Octave. It's not matlab it's the acceptance of lazy solutions and lack of rigor
I think my blog post outlines problems categorically not found in R and I explain what's wrong with Octave also.
Anything with a GUI is a path to short cuts. Octave is almost indistinguishable from MATLAB save for GUI
I explain that and why it's a problem but you probably didn't read that bit yet?
anyway, like I said, looking forward to your write up on the problem and solutions maybe, but it's super late so 
yeah @cMadan obviously is using Matlab in much better way than I've ever witnessed. Unsurprising of course
I'll claim it's not a MATLAB specific culture.. I think it's existed as long as scientists started using OSs that were windows based..
so you argue against using Windows? Isn't that an even more exaggerated version of my argument anyway? 
'@Neurallegory Windows is terrible BTW don't get me wrong. I haven't used it since 2005.
Don't sell Windows XP short. It is an awesome platform on which to run experiments. Fast, insanely stable, free.
I don't use it so I'll take your word
Example: only bug last year was due to overly-large system time value, b/c we hadn't rebooted them in 3 months.
I had no idea xp was free let alone used 
well, "free" in that MS doesn't support/police serial codes anymore
