    By the time it came to writing my thesis at age 37 I had already dedicated twenty years learning the vagueries of MS Word and ten debugging compilation errors of MATLAB. There was no way I was going to take on another language at that point.

    This was short sighted because all it meant is that I didn’t have any control over compilation errors because Word does it for you, badly.
