The techniques you use to optimize at the macro-level are fundamentally different

It's not clear to me that this is the case. The parts of the problem that are hardest change, but the problems are fundamentally similar in a deep way. I will agree that the training to improve macro-level optimizations and the training to improve micro-level optimizations have different focuses, and am working on a post that will be relevant to the former.
