Are we now describing strong developers who know their (difficult) domain well "nerds"? Kinda makes sense, given how most software engineering drifted into gluing together libraries and could be basically done by a monkey who has enough tolerance for boredom and frustration...
- anotheryou 7y agoI'm no native speaker, maybe I misused the word a bit. I mean it in a very positive way :) Precisely here I'd describe a person that spends much of their free time to code with audio and at least since their late youth. Often somehow valuing the technology over the actual sound (at least not clearly coming from the musician background, but rather from DIY, art or programming). It's just a very attractive niche quite a few have a strong dedication to and if something could also be a hobby there must be some good people doing it already.
