We have this now, our scrum masters do everything now because they don’t really understand their role nor is it well defined. It’s hell.

They are now delving into solutions architects and seem to be expert software engineers who ask questions like, “but isn’t that simple? How come it’s going to take so long” etc.

Nightmare.

I find it telling that I never met scrum masters who can actually tell you what they’re working on or what their backlog is. Funny that?

Yeah I always see scrum masters as trying to play engineering manager or play at a role that isn't theirs nor are they qualified for. They also seem to think most engineers are stupid and can't even walk without hand holding.

Yup, also same experience, if someone asks for actual requirements or deadlines they think we are dumb.
