 What is pronoun reference?
É um dos recursos que dão coesão a um texto,
pois faz com que as orações estejam
interligadas.
Faz o leitor voltar a algo que já foi mencionado
previamente, tornando o texto menos
repetitivo.
Os pronomes substituem outras palavras,
chamadas de antecedentes.

 1. Computer Systems Analyst
Computer systems analysis is a hybrid of information
technology and business. And computer systems analysts
leverage both their knowledge of information technology
and business to design better computer systems and
processes for their clients. Although these professionals
have many responsibilities, their first task is to
understand their client's business, whether it's an
organization in Silicon Valley or a firm on Wall Street. And
they'll specifically want to learn how the organization
uses technology. Analysts will then research the best
technologies to help the organization's overall computer
system – the hardware, the software and the networks –
run more efficiently and effectively.
 2. Software Developer
Software developers invent the technologies that we
sometimes take for granted every day. For instance, that app
that rings, sings or buzzes you out of a deep sleep in the
morning? A software developer helped design that. And
when you roll into the office and turn on your computer,
clicking and scrolling through social media, music and your
personal calendar – software developers had a big hand in
shaping those, too. You might spend your lunch shopping,
and before you make that big purchase you check your bank
account balance using your phone. Later, you're cooking a
new recipe from that great app your friend told you about.
As you look over the course of your day, you come to see
that software developers are the masterminds behind the
technologies you now can't imagine living without.
 3. IT Manager
Computer and information systems managers, or information technology
managers, are the guides who help organizations navigate the always-
changing labyrinth that is modern technology. These all-important
employees deliver short- and long-term visions for the company's technology
needs and goals. Even though most IT managers have the technical chops to
execute the various jobs of the workers they supervise, they are more likely
to be caught in a meeting room than a server room. Coordinating
technology-related matters with top executives, planning upgrades of
existing software or hardware and negotiating with vendors for the service of
current products or the purchase of new ones are all common tasks IT
managers encounter. IT managers also install and upgrade an organization's
computer system and protect the office network from hackers and malware.
When the job is done well, many employees won't even notice the work
involved. If you haven't had an email interruption or server meltdown in the
past few months, you probably have an IT manager to thank.
 4. Web developer
A friend recommends a certain website, so you
click on the link. And wow – even though you
can't put your finger on it, everything about the
site seems to fit together superbly, from the
colors and graphics, to the images and special
effects (or "animation" to those in the know).
Although you haven't visited the site before, you
know just how to navigate it. The search
function even works. For all this and more, you
can thank a talented web developer.
 5. Computer Network Architect
If you've ever saved something to the cloud, then
you've depended on the handiwork of a computer
network architect. These professionals design, build
and maintain a variety of data communication
networks, from expansive cloud infrastructures to
smaller intranets. Along with a host of technical
skills, computer network architects also have a
deep understanding of the company or
organization's business plans and objectives. They
also need business acumen to do everything from
budgeting the network design and implementation
to managing a staff.
