As a person who was there for the early days of Agile, I just want to say it's sad that's what Agile has become. You're right, of course. But that's not what was meant. Somehow "Individual and interactions over processes and tools" became "individuals, please stop interacting and conform to these processes and tools".

It gets worse. If you're caught in a power grab/political game as a developer, some manager consciously use this to slow you down in comparison to their favorite developer.

I was a developer brought into a team along with codebase. They would allow their own devs to go full SV-style, free. But when it comes to me; "please check with PO, create a jira subtask for this"
