Scrum is not for software engineering

    I've yet to meet a manager whose only job isn't a futile attempt to make themselves relevant to the process.

    Only useful managers are those who are actually performing a dual-role as some sort of social lubricant for the team. You could just replace that manager role with a social engineer whose responsibility is to further psychological safety for everyone, and drop the pretense that they know anything about technology or manage what everyone should do.

    Yep. I suspect many engineers feel this way.
