How does that compare to other fields? That is, my previous dentist was a musician, I know authors who are musicians, I know scientists who are musicians.
Sting was a bus conductor, building labourer, and schoolteacher.
If developers are underrepresented, percentage-wise, as compared to other fields then all of these conclusions about a connection are wrong, or at least very weak.
It could be there's not a real correlation between the likelihood of being a musician when you're a developer or vice versa. Proving that isn't the purpose of these articles anyways. I was interested in the relationships between the processes of learning and creating/writing music and code that many developers and musicians I've met (and myself) have noticed.
