How many coders, devs, programmmers, IT peeps, technical design folks are also musicians and/or seriously in pursuit of music lifelong? Curious to know as for more than 30 years in tech I see a lot of crossover.

I'm not an active musician today, but I play a few instruments and was extremely active throughout high school and college, and continued somewhat into adulthood. Music is an important part of my origin as a technologist.

Me too. I suspect without having done any due diligence, just relying on observation that many crossovers are probably hybrid thinkers... strong in logic and creativity.

Why has this info been Heiding from me all these years. I had to, despite deserving pun prison in perpetuity for that one!

I've abandoned music as I'm not in love since 2011.

I wasn't sure if I should laugh or cry. I laughed. I haven't been in love since my husband died. If you're writing songs and think it's love and those songs are sad and miserable it's not love. From the School of Hard Knocks.

Yes. Guitar, piano, drums, uke, cigar box guitar, bass, DJ mixing (vinyl and digital), harmonica, ocarina, and just about most things I can get a tune out of. Not a didgeridoo though. That shit is HARD.

I have a friend who absolutely hates the sound of a didgeridoo. I have a small one I was gifted upon visiting Australia. I met up with some Maori youngsters in New Zealand who were doing wild contemporary music. Showed me some techniques. I tried but failed to even get close!
