Building software for the one developer vs building software for the company and customers (company first because they will support the customers). What went wrong with agility is that it turned into Agile, a concept sold by consultants to be co-opted by management. We should absolutely stop coining the phrase "team" though. Everything about it and the rituals are only for enforcing control and disrupting creative work. The "sports" metaphors are only avenues of manipulation and abuse. Sadly it works best on the youngest generation. The old way where a few devs could hold entire companies hostage is over forever though. Nothing wrong with pairing and teaching others. But it is work, work both the new way and the old way is very adverse to do.
