I had to implement a clamp-and-expand feature recently. If you do an internet search for how to do this, the results are sparse, and there seems to be no standard way.

The following are some of my favorite snippets from this book. Thanks, Uncle Bob.

My wife’s Christmas present is a photo album of our son, a timeline ranging from newborn until now (he’ll be 3 soon). I was tempted to organize them in chronological order, but that’d no fun. Instead, I grouped ’em by theme:

This recipe is an amalgamation of a few things: My dad had made some Crazy Johnnie’s BBQ shrimp for a family event. Once I peeled the leftovers, I couldn’t bring myself to throw away the juice because it smelled so good. My wife suggested making a chicken and sausage gumbo and adding the juice in. I had never made gumbo before, but my sister-in-law makes a good one. Between her recipe, and Cajun Ninja’s recipe, this one was born.

My high-level workflow looks something like this: identify the problem to solve; think on the problem and let ideas percolate; research, discuss, and experiment with these ideas; implement and test the solution; deliver and maintain the solution.
