That's why for me it always comes down to leadership. At least in Europe, which doesn't really understand software, developers are put under management of people that do not understand the craft at all.

I personally hate the fact that agile, which started off as a couple people saying "we're all professionals and grownups here, let's talk regularly about how to combine this abstract thing we do with actual client needs" is now a whole industry.

Oh god, it's horrific.

There's now a whole profession of "scrum masters", most of whom haven't the first clue how to actually do anything much, and none of whom are needed - the scrum master was just the guy coordinating, a monor extra duty that could even rotate. But no, we have people hanging on to our industry, claiming to add value, who spend their days fussing over jira... it's a tragedy.
