One problem with this is that orchestral music is a very traditional, opinionated industry. There could be biases specific to that setting that don't show up in others.
- eevilspock 12y agoAre you suggesting that the software tech industry isn't in its own way at least as traditional and opinionated?
- joshuapants 12y agoThe software industry is at most, what? 100 years old? 55 years old if you want to start from the beginning of the rise of business computing? It's an industry created in the midst of massive social changes that has been chasing moving targets from the beginning. Orchestral music (as we know it, an argument could be made for orchestra-like organizations going back another few millennia) has been around since the 16th century or so. That is a much longer time for exclusive traditions to develop. I'm sure they're both traditional and opinionated, but I would expect that the scale at which they manifest them will be very different.
