Whatever Agile was, it's absolute garbage these days. It largely exists to hold developers maximally accountable to the business, at the expense of technical excellence or even maintenance, which can be expressed in its gun-language of Jira tickets and so get ignored. Fuck user stories, fuck sprints, fuck Jira, and fuck product management (a job in which one defines success by getting into one's boss's job as fast as possible, leaving no concern for quality) in general with extreme prejudice.

If the people who started the computing revolution last century knew that their descendants would be attending daily standups and debating "story points", they'd never have done it--in fact, they'd have blocked it from happening in the first place.
