Jan, you are right, it's time to go to bed. But you know, if more readers were of my background, it would suffice to post a small sentence here and there on "the happy company", they'd understand ;OP

Good night also to you, sleep well, keeping a part of the TMW mission in your heart: "Our goal is to change the world (...)" Not kidding, see

Good grief! I did not know this page.
I thought TMW just suffers and profits from the typical effects of human brains an the emerging dynamic of large complex systems.

<cite>ultimate computing environment [...] strive to be the leading worldwide developer and supplier of technical computing software. [...] ethical business practices;</cite>

This is a mission beyond "create stable software with good usability and offer fair conditions to users and employees".

Dumbfounded, Jan

Jan, may we agree on one thing? When you see in my posts or posts of the others to encounter some programming problems, you and other guys take the effort to reply. Often either of you remark 'Don't go that way'. As you have *good reasons* to alert us. I just hope that all of you will continue being merciful. In my turn, if I am just trying to show the other readers some insights owing to my background that is different from theirs, perhaps bcs I have good reasons for that. Thanks.

Chuckle...

I'd say that mission statement demonstrates completely that indeed TMW
_HAS_ fallen trap to the "dynamic of large complex systems". How else
could one generate such claptrap other than by committee? :)

Claptrap? What a cynical outlook. I've worked at MathWorks for 16 years.
The mission accurately reflected our beliefs back then when we had just
200 employees, and it accurately reflects our beliefs now.
