alt Hacker News> I cannot figure out what you mean by "BA" in this context
Business Analyst - those people who learn everything about what the customers requirements, specs, etc are. What they need, what they currently have, how to best advise them, etc.
They know everything, except how to program.

I was a BA forever ago during a summer job in college. That job wasn't for me at all! Looking back on the experience, putting together a FRD felt much like writing a CLAUDE.md with some prompts thrown in!

In my experience, they know nothing, including how to program.
