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.

There are ALWAYS other musicians on every team I join, so a huge amount of crossover. I've been in tech nearly 25 years, but did a degree studying jazz. The older I get the more I think it was (for me) the perfect preparation.

I often think the web at its best is Miles Davis and John Coltrane. at its worst? Smooth jazz. AKA fake nonsense that infuriates me! So yes excellent background you have there! 馃槀

Oh yes, Davis and Coltrane are giants. I always say jazz is not so much a musical style, more a state of mind. My particular love is big band jazz: Ellington, Jones, and more modern stuff like Gordon Goodwin and Michel Camilo's big band album.

Miles Davis and John Coltrane are pretty much Beyond reproach music wise. I love when composers and musicians take jazz and bend it into their own compositions. No one personifies that better in my opinion than Frank Zappa.
