For me, it is two things; 1. Agile methodology needs to be managed by someone, and this someone is not normally a developer (in my experience), it also needs to be understood by the client and other members in the team, and this again, in my experience is not the case. 2. Personally I feel I have a negative view of these meetups, I feel unfortunately surrounded by non-developers in my teams who are more interested in their linkedin profile appearance, or having a 'cool' job, uninterested in the intricacies of their job and how much of a benefit it has to everyone involved. Working with people who think that if they are not being paid, they shouldn't care, it can take the enthusiasm out of your developers, especially when they are expected to go the extra mile to make up for the lack of process and documentation. I apologies in advance if this comment is not to the satisfaction of the community. Just my (possibly bitter) two cents.
