Personal Profile
I'm a Senior Usability Specialist here at MathWorks, supporting our internal teams--helping design the software that our own developers use. This means any coding I do is strictly amateur stuff, and my comments should NOT be considered the "voice of the MathWorks"...
In a past life I got a doctorate analyzing how people talk and work together via computers, and have worked on projects for various sponsors including ONR, NASA, AFOSR, and AFRL.

Alex Feinman submitted a Comment to Problem 651. Functional inputs
I'd like to include the test case listed below, but I'm stumped as to why it doesn't work:
%%
x1 = [ 1 2 3 ]
x2 = [ 10 20 ]
y_correct = [9 19; 8 18; 7 17]
y_actual = gridit(@minus, x1, x2);
assert(isequal(y_actual, y_correct));
