I was hoping for more about music in the article. I have played electric bass and guitar for a long time. It did't take long to realize that you'll find a a few patterns:

- Players have tendencies that they repeat

- Genres have vernacular which you need to learn in order to sound right

- Often original sounding bands and artists "found" their sound by trying to emulate something else (another artist or band).

I don't read a lot of code these days, but I do remember some of this from back in the day - we all have style tendencies (e.g., tabs, spaces or where we start parens, etc.).

It always amuses me when you look at what some bands were emulating and how far from it they ended up. A few notable cases include Yes (Simon & Garfunkel), Genesis (The Bee Gees) and Sheryl Crow (80s Genesis).

if you like coding and music, there are many many languages like strudel, tidal cycle, sonic pi, sardine, renardo or glicol that could interest you (and many even lower level)
