Nice. I like the article. Actually there's a fairly compelling
relationship between programmers, musicians and philosophers. Quite a
few of the programmers I know have music or philosophy as a hobby, and
several of them actually have college education in music. Matt
Woodward is a few papers away from a doctorate in music (performance I
think - I believe trumpet was his instrument of choice), although he's
stopped working toward getting the doctorate.

I play a mean harmonica myself. I used to play piano. Now I just have
pianist envy. :)

And philosophy is one of my hobbies. :)

I reall think the attraction is to patterns (maybe for lack of a
better word). If we were interested in numbers, we'd be accountants.
And if we were interrested in rules (specifics) we'd probably be
attorneys or business managers. We gravitate to programming because
it's the "meta-data" in life that interests us -- the repeatable
patterns of harmony and dissonance.
