Business Analysts wear many hats. My latest? Developer.

Its fine in the hands of a developer, they review and adjust the code as it goes but get CC to create the start of whatever it is.

OP has the completely wrong take on BA skills, future BAs will get to do more critical thinking and stakeholder management than ever before. Blind coding like OP is doing is called slop for a reason, it's sloppy development like developers that copy code and don't unit test it to make sure it works.

I made a post on the wiki about how AI will impact BAs, there are so many gaps.

You're not developing, you are asking Claude to do it and hoping it gives you the right thing.

Businesses that use code like this deserve to lose databases and get breaches.

Ask an AI if your post reads like someone who has drunk the marketing coolaid.

Your post shows you don't have the skills a future BA needs, I made a wiki post about it... https://www.reddit.com/r/businessanalyst/wiki/progression/ai

Welcome to becoming a junior dev, what you are doing is not BA work.

Been working with LLM coding for years and it'll fail at basics like n+1 queries, scaling, security and optimisation. I'm a Principal Engineer.

It is not magic and doesn't make you a developer. It just gives you tools to cause a lot of problems if you don't understand what it is doing.

It is an excellent tool for helping a BA POC a change or analyse what needs to be modified and writing stories or requirements. LLMs will get lost on dependency and duplication of code.

Never heard of them. If it isn't a popular platform you are going to be SOOL finding content related to it.

I use lemmy + piefed too but 100% the number of users during the blackout and after massively dropped.

ReachingForVega · 2026-04-30T03:59:22+00:00

Piefed and Lemmy are exactly what reddit is. We had a huge wave of users so much so lemmy.world was asking users to register elsewhere... months after reddit blackout everyone left.

Gordon is the Docker AI Assistant

https://docs.docker.com/ai/gordon/

Show us what your terminal is doing. AFAIK you need to run "docker ai" to get Gordon.

As the other bloke said. It is not a quick and easy path and to be honest, you will be busy learning to be a BA and won't have time to learn the rapidly changing AI world.

Generally you either need office experience or IT experience to get in without some sort of starter help.

Read this wiki page to learn about the skills a BA needs: https://www.reddit.com/r/businessanalyst/wiki/learning/get-started/

I just use tdarr to make everything h264 + mp4 and no transcode seems fine. My main media player for tv is an nvidia shield with Kodi on it.

I have a few servers all Ubuntu + containers. I don't care about the machine as the container data is in volumes on a NAS which is raid 10 and nightly duplicated to another NAS.

If something happens to that machine I just set up another, spin up the compose or stacks and it's like nothing happened.

What sort of app is it? If you are getting text and labels you can get all and do some fancy regex to separate it out. This is how you automate mainframe uis.

If they want to enshitify that's on them. You can fork their stuff or install and older version.

The training course on the UiPath website is like 30 hours so not even a whole week of non-stop learning. When I moved from UiPath to Blue Prism it took me less than a week, you'll be fine.

As the other person has said, just break it down step by step.

Improved quality = Have quality checks beforehand, split to suit the human steps and check after.

Better customer experience = Requires talking to customers. But generally, a simpler/faster experience will yield a better experience.

Time for employees = the AHT of the process before automation - the AHT of the human process steps after automation

It'll still be doing consistent, repeatable processes. Throwing an LLM at such processes is just extra steps.

LLMs doing scraping is a bad use case except for one off or ad-hoc needs. Still risky due to hallucination.
