The scrum master shouldn't exist.

  I agree, when the team is working, everyone's a scrum master :)

  Agreed. Scrum master is the mostly useless role yet. I have had two in a row now that were just a waste of time to even have to deal with. I am constantly having to explain what we're doing so that he feels he's included, but yet he has zero clue technically. At one job, the scrum master was an angry lesbian who used her minor role to browbeat me at every opportunity possibly because I'm part of the white, cis power structure or whatever. Talk about delusional! I'm no more privileged than anyone else, quite frankly. It was her and her "wife" (yeah, downvote away you stupid idiots--I have traditional beliefs about marriage, so sue me). Anyways, here SO was the HR director and so nobody could say a damn thing. Hope they go out of business, they deserve it. Anyways, yeah, I haven't had a good experience with anyone titled "scrum master" at any point in the last decade and the latest few have been real gems. I hope agile goes away completely. It has become nothing but another top down control mechanism to squeeze more work out of people who are already overworked. I fucking hate what it has become. There was a brief time when agile and agile practices were like a breath of fresh air. Now the slave drivers have taken it back for themselves.
