Thoughts on making music vs. computer programming

It seems that both touch on some of the same veins. They can both be incredibly technical.

The main difference (and striking similarity at once) that I see is where computer programming might have the developer wishing the end user has a particular type of machine, or environment, to execute their code..... the musician probably wishes the listener have a type of speaker arrangement, acoustics, and several other factors.

All things considered, it seems far easier to at least execute the final result of a music piece on any given random hardware, instead of a piece of computer code.
