When I started in this business, in the mid-70s, there was the prospect of my working under a "programmer-analyst" - there was, then, a whole hierarchy of programmers. I resisted that bitterly and was "lucky" enough to be at the forefront of changes - I would be able to avoid that until the concept was dead. Now, 40 years later ... it seems like a good idea to me ... but more dead than it's ever been and getting deader all the time. Part of the problem is that the whole profession is dead - now the people doing the programming are the application experts, and just programmers are considered at the level that we used to consider "operators" were at :) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
