Problem isn't with Agile since Agile is meaningless to begin with. It's nothing more than a vacuous paradigm thought up by some cringy edge lords who thought they were geniuses 20 years ago.
All of those things mentioned on that post are inherent to Scrum, which by the way is very much not compatible with Agile at all, if Agile is taken to actually mean anything, which it isn't.
Spot on with that.

Yea, yea. Fact is, Agile/Scrum/whatever is usually adding 20% overhead to daily work and therefore must add 25% efficiency just to be as useful as the default process which is derisively called "Waterfall" nowadays.
I don't find the scrum stuff too onerous. Basically make a jira for yourself (5 mins), attach some test results (5-10 mins). Talk like 5 mins max on a daily call to say what you're doing. And I like the Jira board to keep track of stuff.
It's kinda dumb but whatever so is the job. Just crush the code as efficiently as possible and use as little energy as possible, so you have more energy for life
