It seems a bit paradoxical, but success at programming requires attention to both the macro and the micro levels.
We start our analysis of a problem with an overview (the macro level) and decompose the problem into smaller and smaller parts, eventually arriving at the micro level at which attention to detail is crucial—as our recent code-analysis exercise reveals.
So to be successful programmers, we need to be masters of the 2 Ds: Decomposition and Detail.
