Ask HN: How do I get the most out of an analyst job?
2 by Qision | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, I recently started a new position as a "program analyst" in the context of software for public administration in EU. There are two teams involved in the project, team A who are basically like product owners and architects, doing the conception and deciding of the priorities, and team B, the devs, who actually make the software. My job in team B is to act as an interface between team A and the devs, I'm supposed to have a good overview of the project, keep track of the progress made in the code (bugs, new features etc.) so I can update team A on what's going on and in the end synchronize the teams. I also have to manage our git repo. It was clear from the beginning that I am not supposed to code. Overall I don't feel super enthusiastic about the project itself but I must admit that for a junior the working conditions are really good (working hours, holidays and salary) and the team is nice. The contract is set for 3 years, since I'm a junior with low experience I fear that at the end of the contract I will lack some coding experience and have trouble getting a new job. So I was wondering if there are similar positions in the private sectors? And basically, how can I get the most out of this job? Thanks!

New ask Hacker News story: Is someone trying to steal credit for inventing the eTicket?

Is someone trying to steal credit for inventing the eTicket? 2 by rexarex | 0 comments on Hacker News. The eTicket is what we use for flights today instead of physical, paper tickets printed on special paper. My understanding of the lore is that it was invented by Southwest Airlines or a company they acquired. That's what I heard on a How I Built This podcast episode with the founder of JetBlue. It's also mentioned in this research paper here https://ift.tt/RB63DSb Strangely, when I was googling I found what I suspect to be planted misinformation in a Bangkok Post article where someone named Joel Goheen claims to have invented the eTicket on JRG Airlines (https://ift.tt/bTyawJM). JRG Airlines does not exist, and appear to be just the initials of Joel R Goheen. However, he appears on a U.S. Patent for eTicketing for 1994 the same time they started using eTickets. (https://ift.tt/tzSTHf2) I think it's really strange. I did some googling of his name and eTicket and there ap...
