Techniques Gordon Pettus Uses:

I study a problem extensively, let it stew in my brain for some period, then a solution come to me. I then consider that solution as a starting point for a better solution. I continue that process several times. When I build something, I test it to identify weaknesses, failure is especially helpful, then I analyze the weakness and modify the design solution.
