    A good systems analyst can effectively translate user requirements into accurate statements, does not need to be a programmer. Good systems analysts are generally more adept in asking clarifying questions, challenging assumptions and sussing out needs. Good programmers will still be needed but their time is wasted gathering requirements.

      What is a systems analyst?

      I never worked in a big enough software team to have any distinction other than “works on code” and “does sales work”.

      The field I was in was all small places that were very specialized in what they worked on.

      When I ran my own company, it was just me. I did everything that the company needed to take are of.
