There is a deep underlying relationship between mathematics and music:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_and_mathematics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_and_mathematics
Computer programming is the practical application of a subset of mathematics, so it stands to reason that programmers will tend to be interested in music. (And, specifically, people who like writing code will also tend to like making music.)
- bartonfink 16y agoI agree that the relationship is there, but I'm curious if there's any basis for your claim that folks who write software will also tend to write music instead of enjoying it in other ways.
- arctangent 16y agoIt's a purely genetic argument, based on the relationship between genotype and phenotype: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genotype-phenotype_distinction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genotype-phenotype_distinction I might be stretching it a bit, but I think it's probably fine to assume that people with innate abilities will express them in multiple similar ways.
