Agile Coach here, there’s more truth to this than you may know. I’ve commented here about this before. With agile many companies (often helped by consultants) threw out what little design and engineering common sense we scraped together over the preceding decades and, in practice, made small teams of developers directly accountable to their customers. Whilst customers saw immediate benefit the loss of air cover from engineering leadership hath wrought a mess of technical debt the scale of which is hard to fathom. I’m thoroughly fed up with my field. Agile coaches are, for the most part, fucking muppets with no significant engineering or leadership background. Fire them all.
