Reading this, I found myself nodding along after I replaced:
- musician to developer
- online music to open source project
- performance to consulting/training/conferences
It’s funny thinking about all the similarities between the two.

I get that some people basically just vibe along with music and don't hear the harmonic movement, the intervals, the tones of the instruments.
This point of view gives zero credence the possibility of any actually original music.
Are you a boomer? These days nobody respectable listens to music where those things are present and IMO that's a good thing.
A better analogy is up-and-coming musicians and startups. You struggle in a garage until you're discovered, then you sign away most of your rights for bad working conditions and a three-year run.
