I also come from a music background university formation.

I have been learning how to code for 4 months looking for a career change and one of my biggest fears was that my music degree would become an obstacle in the future. Now I feel that it can be a huge advantage if I play my cards well :D

This short lecture was so inspirational, thank you!

I definitely spent a while feeling self-conscious as a musician, and there are definitely areas of tech where you'll find people flexing what school they went to and that sort of thing. I'm not going to pretend like it's not intimidating, but yes I definitely think you can show that it's an advantage, and places where people focus on things like school credentials are maybe not the places you want to be anyway.
