> I really feel agile has killed the happiness of our industry
Waterfall had its own endless set of meetings and downsides. I'm not sure agile changed that at all in the large, regardless of how "well" agile was implemented. Some teams did have project management that "shielded" teams, but that can happen under agile too, depending upon how it is structured.

I've enjoyed it working well. It was much better than being project managed. A great deal of the time it let us toss out stupid requirements - they just sat at the bottom of the infinite backlog because they weren't needed yet.
