"Write a program that does this."

"Fix this part"

"And this part"

"And this part"

"Wait you fucked up the first part again, change it back to when you first fixed it."

"Ok now fix this last part."

"Damnit why do you keep changing the first part I already told you it was fine!"

My experience is that you want to keep changes as focused as possible. The smaller the context it has to work on the better the results tend to be, and the easier it is to check that it did what you actually wanted it to.
