If you stop and think about it and look at a storyboard and all the stories on the board, you'll notice a pattern if you work with AI.
Each story is nothing more than a prompt. It's an elaborate framing for a prompt. You put in expectations, the input, and you set the acceptance criteria as the output, and you're describing the work.
So we're training some AI model on how to do our work from epic to feature to story, beginning to end, and we're training this model every day that we go to work and do Agile and complete stories and tasks. We're training this AI system to replace us. Every job that we do everyday.

These posts are humorous. There's literally an entire iteration for innovation and adapting the way we work to be better and learn.
I'm convinced that most of these toxic posts are made by two or three folks that were unfortunately let go or passed up for promotion and now they're just bitter and vindictive.
If you're unhappy, then leave. Don't stay and just post garbage in public forums.
Agile is for the folks to show numbers and seek promotions. Thats what most of the management team does at USAA. Fastest route, Scrum Master -> product/project manager -> director -> EMG. All they know is burn, churn and story point lingo. There you go...Bingo!
Agile has ki-led innovation, maintenance work. It never gives the opportunity for people to go back and evaluate what they did and refine it. They're just always looking forward to the next story, to the next feature they can deliver so they can get their raise or kudos or some appraisal from management because no one's tracking any work that's being done to go back and sure up all the cracks and crevices that have been exposed over time. They're just expected to iterate off of it somehow and replace it with a new feature coming down the pipe.
Agile has completely dehumanized work in IT.
Agile is nothing more than a way to complicate tasks and hide behind backlogs. Change my mind!
