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."

@Henriksen @dylanbeattie I think @kentbeck also, and @kevlin and lots more play guitar in particular. I'm wondering if there's something about the instrument that attracts developers. It might just be the gear. I'm a sucker for a stomp box 🙂

@jasongorman @Henriksen @dylanbeattie @kentbeck @kevlin "Hello world" is pretty easy on a guitar compared to other instruments. And then there are (usually) six strings. This is exciting: programmers would naturally have expected 8 of them!

@aschaetti @jasongorman @Henriksen @dylanbeattie @kentbeck Or 4. That would appeal to their basser instincts...
