Not if you have any sense as an engineer :)

I love letting a Biz Analyst handle that. It's a nice luxury.

I get a nice spec delivered to me to code. instead of translating from business people who don't even know what they want? Yes please.

I hate letting the Biz Analyst "handle that"

All too often, the "spec" a BizAn tries to hand over is nothing resembling a "spec", and instead just a bunch of word vomit I have to take back to the original source(s) and ask them to explain everything they wasted hours explaining to the "analyst" because the "analyst" didn't analyze anything - they just reformatted what the enduser(s) said into a standardized form
