I wonder if there are any fellow BA's (Business Analysts) out there in the HN community.
There are a lot of different types of readers out there on HN, but I feel like my segment is being under represented... or is it.
Survey: Are there any BA's in the HN readership, and if so why do you visit?

#4Worked as a BA in previous life. Just interested in HNs general technical gist.

#5I effectively have the knowledge and skill set of a BA. But tech was what hired me-always had a decent tech background, too.
The BA side helps me navigate lots of things though. Helps at work when needing to phrase things to non-techies.

#6Hey there! I think there are a few of us out there. I just recently moved back into that role myself and I still read HN on the daily. Commenting not so much.
I visit mostly to keep up with tech news. Occasionally I'll stumble onto threads that give me ideas for solutions at my job. But mostly it's really just to decompress.

#7As you likely know, the BA role can be very technical, depending on the solution/client -- wouldn't be surprised if there are a bunch among us.

#8I think the product manager job and product owner role have replaced BAs. I'm a BA, but I think it's a disappearing role in software.
I think my reading falls into three categories. Product management related authors and topics, (technical) project management, and CS fundamentals & software development (this is by far my weakest area and needs a lot more effort).

What's the difference between a BA and a PM?
