    I did software testing for sound systems / IoT and their associated software. It was a fun mix of scripting, test planning, data. As a musician it really scratched that itch and as a nerd doubly so. Only now after being forced out have I come to realize I was riding a unicorn.

      Fuck dude, as a musician who works diagnostics for a day job, I feel that. It’s hard finding profit scratching that itch on the road, what you play?

        Played cello professionally for a while until I realized nobody has a career in classical music without family money or a benefactor and I had neither. Good times and good lessons: I played with a metal band for a while and it rocked my world.
