> There is literally no place in it for private feedback or some kind of learning plan or a weaker developer having tasks adjusted so that he can catch up (getting simpler ones, or only frontend ones till he learns that), literally nothing... Instead, scrum prevents effective, safe and compassionate communication. It provides rituals, that is it.

Sure, scrum is a team tool, not a personal development plan tool. The latter is best handled with one's manager. Note that I am not claiming scrum is an everything tool. It won't solve world hunger either. How on earth does scrum "prevent effective, safe, and compassionate communication"?? It just sounds like you're throwing accusations at the wall now to see what sticks.

It sounds like we've had vastly different experiences. I'm sorry to hear yours have been so unpleasant.

You started by saying that scrum helps team alignment, communication and dealing with weaker developers. That introverted developers need something like that to communicate, because they are avoiding tough discussions. You was literally talking about developers.

When I said that developers do tough part regularly in code reviews, you said that effective communication is more and scrum provides that more

When I said that scrum does not provide it and makes it harder, you said that scrum actually should not do any of that, manager should. And oh, scrum has scrum master and no manager, so no I guess no one is doing it.
