File Dealing With Dilemmas In Software Engineering
An article I wrote many years ago. It introduces the Evaporating Cloud in the context of some software engineering problems. It's a bit dated now and the writing is a bit too formal and stuffy. I think the information is valid and would appreciate any feedback you wish to provide.

File Dealing With Dilemmas In Your Personal Life
This is an article written by a good friend of mine. Sadly, she passed away in 2005. I take a bit of comfort in the belief that in preparing this article and doing clouds (she did many while working at Common Sense) she was somewhat better prepared for the difficult dilemmas she would face in the next two years. Wendy was my beautiful friend and I still miss her greatly. I hope that you will find inspiration in her careful work and that it will somehow serve you all the rest of your life. Trust me, Wendy would have wanted that.

"Ten years ago, I brought John Sambrook onto a risky and highly political project that had far-reaching consequences within our company.  As the second member of the team, me being the first, John found solutions to difficult problems, problems I could not have solved without him, averting project failure over and over again.  He produced code and documentation at a professional level I have rarely seen in my thirty years of software engineering.  The project was so successful that the team was spun off as its own company, which now employs more than 700 people."  (Bob Alexander, SonoSite Inc.)
