It's not Agile's fault

Yes, yes it is. You don’t judge a system by some ideal that can’t be achieved. If it’s a system meant for humans you judge it based on what it does to said humans.

If agile makes managers more insufferable, then maybe it’s not a good tool for the problem at hand, working in companies with managers.

Agile is not a system. It’s a set of principles, set by the Agile manifesto.

The Agile manifesto boils down to a set of priorities that aren’t even set as absolutes.

I strongly recommend you read upon Agile before blaming things you don’t like on things you don’t understand .

I have read those principles, many years ago.

Those principles sound great but they are not compatible with management.

If management is gonna be part of the picture then agile principles are not beneficial to a developer experience, regardless of what unachievable ideal they talk about.
