This is what Hollywood thinks most coding is like in the world. One shot, no bugs and pure creation. All in a highly customized and beautifully responsive editing environment.
Seriously though, thanks for posting this. I think music coders deserve special attention because they mix creativity and logic together so well.
It's also what Hollywood thinks music is like: pure improvisation. In the real world, both require an amazing amount of rehearsal and frustrating lack of progress on your own time before the 'performance'.
I always thought the best moment of 8-mile was when Bunny stops talking and sits down with a pen and a paper in his bedroom. It's fairly explicit that that's the point he starts on the road to being a successful musician.

I'd be happy to get some code review feedback for the Overtone codebase: http://github.com/overtone/overtone
Pull requests would be even nicer...
