I really appreciate this take and the sibling comment. Exactly. See what good is there, move on about the rest.

But what to do when instead of 6 competent and efficient devs you get 40 people with random mix of skills, no domain knowledge and at moderate programming talent? I dont know Scrum to comment on it, but many management methods converge to 'appear that work is done all the time even if it's just meaningless bureaucracy, make everything slow and inefficient, but manage the expectations - so customer is moderately disappointed all the time but there are no catastrophic failures. And make sure there are no red lights on the dashboard, ever.'

Leave.
That sounds like it's someone's problem, but it doesn't need to be yours.
