Agile makes us cogs
As a developer, I used to be given a nice chunk of work, such as "Add Facebook to our device", and I would go away and research it, talk to customers, plan it, implement it, get it tested, deliver it.
Then came Agile.
Now UX design a project and we have loads of meetings and I get given a task to "Make this button start a Facebook connection", "Make this area show the users friends", "Line up the borders here".
Everything takes longer, for more people, and - more importantly for me - it isn't fun any more.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
