I had a professor that made us use LaTex for our lab reports. Kept telling us it is an industry standard. I knew it was bullshit.
Every time we had a guest speaker come and talk about their work (was in an EE program), I would ask if they used LaTex. ( I was bitter because I felt I was being forced to waste time learning something that I didn’t need to).
Every single one said no. Some didn’t even know what it was.
The professor always gave me a dirty look, but he never gave me shit about it, but he also never changed his policy.
I’ve been working as an EE for 3 years now and I have still never seen LaTex in the wild.
Yeah, I got pinged twice, in one visit because I moved shit around, trying to organize.
Way more false positives, in my opinions.
