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.

The CTO of Schwab when I worked for them, Dawn Lapore, was a member of the same music fraternity my wife is. I asked her about it and she said companies used to recruit musicians when they couldn't find computer science candidates, because there's so much crossover.

Interesting Schwab was on that. I did some work with Fidelity. They were also very aware of where to find the best tech people. First company in my experience to hone in on security concerns with HTML5 APIs, browser storage, etc. Stuff we still don't address. In 2010 no less!
