Olof Hellman - Engineering the Arts

There’s some deep comedy imagining the software engineering process as applied to art or music or writing. Would an artist publish a draft of a new painting on GitHub and open it up to pull requests from the community? Would a fiction writer begin a new project by first writing the unit tests that the new novel needs to pass? Would a musician develop a battery of A/B tests on an album and ship “remastered” versions every two weeks?
