A random thought I had tonight after my day at work. In my experience, focusing at the macro level before the micro helps while designing #SofwareDevelopment solutions to complex problems. Starting with the details in the micro makes it hard to pull your head up to the higher level. Plus, I find that #IntegrationTesting and #TDD are a natural fit at the higher macro level. This idea scales for all sizes of problems. Break problems up into parts first and then solve the lower level details.
