I'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.
