RICHARD PLOM IS a coder and a musician. He leads development of the iPhone app at Vine, after more than a decade of coding at Apple, and on the side, using a modular synthesizer, Apple’s Logic Pro software, and a classical Indian instrument called the sarod, he makes his own tunes.
This isn’t unusual. “Some of the best musicians I know are also engineers,” Plom says, pointing to various coders among the vast ranks at Apple. The two pastimes, you see, aren’t as different as they might seem. “Good code—when it’s written the right way—sings,” Plom explains. “It’s like constructing a song.”
