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.

It is important to understand that most of the job of software development is not making the code work. That’s the easy part.

There are two hard parts::

-Making code that is easy to understand, modify as necessary, and repair when problems are found.

-Interpreting what customers are asking for. Customers usually don’t have the vocabulary and knowledge of the inside of a program that they would need to have to articulate exactly what they want.

In order for AI to replace programmers, customers will have to start accurately describing what they want the software to do, and AI will have to start making code that is easy for humans to read and modify.

This means that good programmers’ jobs are generally safe from AI, and probably will be for a long time. Bad programmers and people who are around just to fill in boilerplates are probably not going to stick around, but the people who actually have skill in those tougher parts will be AOK.

I got rid of my federal government bonds a few weeks ago because I didn’t want to be lending money to Trump and his cronies. I replaced them with corporate bonds.

Will get local municipal bonds instead if my stocks go down enough that I can cash shit out in my taxable account without paying a shitload of capital gains tax.

Looks like I wasn’t the only one doing this.

My wife and I used the YouTube app on a Roku TV for some time, and it was rough. I’m not sure if the intense lag was caused by the app or the low specs of the TV, but either way it was a poor experience.

That’s good to hear. I’m looking forward to trying it out on FF again.

Jesus Christ, what a bunch of rat-fuckers.

Something was going wrong with video playback. Unfortunately, this was about 10 years ago so I don’t remember many specifics about what the problem was.

It probably didn’t have anything to do with Firefox itself. It’s likely related to something I messed up in FF or it was something to do with the ancient laptop I had at the time being a junk heap, but I tried Chrome and noticed that the trouble didn’t exist there. So I started using Chrome.

I kept using it because of all the google integration, which was really handy when I was using the google business suite to run my own small business. I shut that down two years ago now, so there’s nothing really keeping me on Chrome any more.

I swapped back to FF a few days ago and YouTube works fine now. So I’m back on the FF train and giving Google the finger the whole way over banning the adblockers that I liked.

Thanks, glad to be here. This place seems way more welcoming than I remember reddit ever being. But I was a little late to the party on Reddit, I joined in 2016.

Boy, that would have been good to know back in 2015, I feel like I let Google hoodwink me into using Chrome for all that time.

Reminds me of a time that I told my boss the “text dick taking” was not working so well. We had a good laugh about that one later.

I swapped to Chrome years ago because YouTube stopped working right on Firefox.

I’ve started the process of swapping back to Firefox after 10 years with Chrome over this.

I was fed up with reddit and looking to make a change that won’t put money in spez’s pocket, arrived a few days ago.
