If musicians were devs:

"I'm a Fender Stratocaster player, with 10 years' experience playing major chords, minor chords, 7th chords,, the major scale in A, E and D, the blues scale in A, E and D (see my leetnote and shredderrank profiles for all the scales and chords I know). My tech stack experience includes Marshall Plexi and JCM amps, BOSS Blues Driver (BD-2), EHX Memory Man, BOSS Chorus CE-2, Dunlop Cry Baby.

What kind of music do I play? I'm sorry. I don't understand the question."

"I play a Gibson SG. No, not a classic...the cheap re-release from a few years ago. I'm self-taught and know my way around a fretboard by and large. I rock a Hughes & Kettner Amp and Box, because I like it and it gives me everything I need. If needs be, I can pick up any other guitar, amp setup or sing. I play hardrock, blues rock and metal. Not good, but consistent."
And all of that is largely true for me being a Dev as well. 😅

"What's a delay pedal? Metal has to be in your face! There's no time to delay." 🤣

@jasongorman wherein the BOSS delay pedal equates to A.I./LLMs or previously blockchain. 🤣
Everybody wants it and nobody needs it.

To work for us you have to use a virtual Amp that inserts a delay of between 500 and 800 milliseconds and we will send you a managed device that is a guitar with 3 strings that are tuned in the Lydian scale to be compatible with our legacy Songs.

@jasongorman that was a fun experience. 😅
All of what I've written is true. I haven't played guitar in a while, but that was my setup back when I was playing in a band. 🤘
I was surprised how much this transfers over to how I view myself as a software Dev and my role in a team.
I've picked up multiple languages and tools since I started out. I have my preferences, but ultimately I know my way around a lot of different stuff. And I'm willing to take on things that others shy away from. 🙂
