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.

Perfect example! I started with classical piano and voice. Air guitar until I got an acoustic steel string guitar at around 17. My father excelled at complex math. Except at the horse races. He's the only family member who immediately saw and fed my interests in logic and music,

Her younger brother played cello, though much less seriously. He’s a whiz at math. Both got scholarships all the way through Uni. Their mom is convinced that music aided their development.

I think their mom is onto something. I definitely think one feeds the other at least that's my experience of it personally with a lot of regret that I let musicianship go because coming back now has proven an uphill climb. I never stopped listening though never stopped exploring.
