I can't pinpoint the exact problem, but corporate agile destroyed software development for me. I completely lost the fun developing software as an employee. I had the most fun on my first project, which was a waterfall one.

The problem is that people realized that they could sell agile training to middle management if they changed it to be about making middle managers feel empowered and giving progress visibility to upper management.

Agile has some good principles, but too often projects are delayed to support the process, when the process exists to support the projects. When a team is more focused on stand-ups and burn down charts than they are on shipping software, then they're no longer agile. Unfortunately that is what happens to a lot of teams that decide to use Agile.
