Fred George has quite a resume – he’s been in the software industry since the 70’s and is still active. His 2017 talk @ the GOTO conference is pure gold.
His breakdown of the role of the Business Analyst at 19:20 is spot on. The role of the manager is even saltier (23:12) – “I am the God here”.
Well worth an hour of your life (mostly for coders).
As a side node there are two characters in the Harry Potter movies called “Fred and George”, making searches for “Fred George” a pain.
