What I find most appalling is that even though all these positions are staffed, there is no limit to what they will ask developers to do. They want the developer to come up with all the ideas, write the stories, do the work, do the coordination, do the release plan, roll to prod, do all the documentation, and on and on and on.

This is an absolute nightmare for retention and recruiting. When I went to university to learn about computers and technology I always dreamed of writing user stories and doing other mostly pointless clerical work.
