    A good systems analyst can effectively translate user requirements into accurate statements, does not need to be a programmer. Good systems analysts are generally more adept in asking clarifying questions, challenging assumptions and sussing out needs. Good programmers will still be needed but their time is wasted gathering requirements.

    Most places don't have all good system analysts.

    Systems analyst is like a programmer analyst without the coding. I agree, in my experience small shops were more likely to have just programmer analysts. Often also responsible for hardware as well.

    If it's just you I hope you didn't need a systems analyst to gather requirements and then work with the programmer to implement them. If you did, might need another kind of analysis. ;)
