I've been hoping for a paradigm shift away from scrum for years! It was good for like 5 minutes after it replaced Waterfall and then it morphed into a freaking hellscape of grifters and non-techies invading the business space. It's never worked out, never! Some of the ceremonies are fine, but overall, it's crap. And people live it like a religion and become angry if you complain about it. It's a freaking work process, not a religion! All it did in large enterprises was become another way to bludgeon developers and take away their agency. Hmm, I recall it was supposed to be ABOUT the developers, not about JIRA and filling out all the idiotic fields in the JIRA tickets. Story points, t-shirt size estimates, RETROSPECTIVES--that never, ever, not even once, led to a positive change. All so a bunch of r/e/t/a/r/d/s who say things like "I'm not very technical, but here's what I think..." to which I always responded--"If you're not very technical, then what makes you think you can lead a technical process?" Idiots and scammers.

See? Nobody agrees with me here, even. The whole software dev business is a joke, really. You know, I believed harder than anyone for years and years. But the lack of true intellect on here and in the working world is an eye-opener. You all live in the Matrix, I can't help you. Am logging off and never logging back in.
