Building things for people to use has always been valued. Making music just had a weird and brief period during which it could be monumentally lucrative.

Music is only “special” because of physical recording creation and distribution.

As a programmer I sometimes reflect just how lucky I am to be born right at the historical moment when my abilities align with the economic demand. A few decades earlier or later and I'd be lucky to be an accountant or something.
