I've actually come to the conclusion Agile propagates poor developers and poor managers.

I've known some really good developers who go belly up in Agile systems because they can't cope with the tight deadlines, having to ship something in two weeks, or people constantly breathing down their necks.

Over the years, I feel like Agile has been used to deliver mediocre products, and in turn, turned good developers into shitty developers simply because the "business" wants to ship something a lot sooner than it should be. It's a downward spiral since all they care about is something getting built, not the inherit quality of said product.

Hence, its because of Agile there are shitty developers and shitty products being shipped, not the other way around.
