The phrase I hang on to is something thrown out by someone I used to work with - "Agile isn't an excuse not to do things". Too many organisation use "we're doing Agile" as an excuse not to do any design thinking and instead "just code". What Agile actually is (in the most general terms) is a different order of doing things that increases the amount of knowledge you have when you do it, and reduces the chances of wasting your work. In my example, you still do the design work, but rather than doing it for the whole system at once you do it for the piece you're about to do, and then implement that piece[1]. But yes, it's nice that the internet has discovered Waterfall! [1] Although many systems, even in an agile world, do require a degree of up front "whole system" architecture and/or design thinking.
