This is going to be a very different article from what I usually write. No technical discussions, architecture deep dives, or engineering practices today. Instead, we're talking about something much older than software itself: music.
We treat language like it's the default mode of human communication, like it's the real and only thing used to communicate, everything else is secondary, emotional, aesthetic, nice to have.
But language is actually the outlier. It's the new protocol layered on top of something much older.
Music is the original standard and we've basically forgotten how to read it.
