Badly done agile made me lose interest in software development. Daily scrums that amounted to one upsmanship and lasted entirely too long. Planning meetings that were mired in politics. I went from wanting to learn the deepest minutiae of languages and practices to only coding the bare minimum at work. Only now (8 years later) am I just finding some joy in coding again, mainly because coding is not a large part of my day job. My dev jobs made me feel like I chose a path of arbitrarily short deadlines and stress while the non development folks largely coasted. I ended up blaming agile practices for a lot of it. I think it still deserves some blame because pushing back on bad practice implementation should be a bigger part of the manifesto.
