We propose and explore a new paradigm in which every software artifact such as a class is an intelligent and socially active entity. In this Software Artifact Choreographed Software Engineering (SACSE) paradigm, humanized artifacts take the lead and choreograph (socially, in collaboration with other intelligent software artifacts and humans) automated software engineering solutions to myriad development and maintenance challenges, including API migration, reuse, documentation, testing, patching, and refactoring. We discuss the implications of having social and intelligent software artifacts that guide their own self-improvement.
