I do analysis, planning, testing, development, client presentations and when I raise this concern with my TL I always get the 'cross-functional team' argument.

It seems that Software Engineer (or Analyst Programmer, etc.) are being lost as professions, and becoming 'careers'.

You just do everything you're asked to, in order that the business makes money - code ? Meh, anyone can do that.

How many other professions suffer the need to be 'cross-functional' ?
