"Agile" is so vague, I don't even know what people mean when they're talking about it. It's like trying to talk about socialism or feminism - huge, nebulous terms and everybody has their own definition. I feel they are almost never ever talking about the original Agile Manifesto, which is pretty minimal. It's more of a rejection of "waterfall" than it is a set of actual practices: https://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html https://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html When people hate "Agile" my experience is that they are generally talking about Scrum, or some ad-hoc derivative of it as seen at many companies.
