What is it with our industry?

Suity walks in, buggers things up, strives to find something to blame, gets booted. Rinse and repeat.

since they have over 3 years experience in such and such a group of in vogue technologies have the temerity to call themselves "senior"

Three years is easily enough time to become truly world class in any technology.

I saw similar to the OP 10 years ago.
I decided to get out of IT for many of the reasons the OP cites and I was a lot happier in my new roles. about 80% pay and about 20% day rate.
I know a lot of people who I worked with back in the day have done the same.
My own opinion is that the industry has slipped somewhat and needs to rebuild from that and that agile is not the answer.

Asked GPT-3 to summarise, you are welcome.

The writer reflects on the pain caused by the industry's self-imposed doctrines of agile development, MVPs, and POCs, and the lack of regard for quality and the developer experience. The writer criticizes the use of JIRA and the concentration of power in the hands of product owners who lack technical expertise. The malaise of sloppy standards of requirements gathering, system design, and documentation has spread throughout the industry, and the ability to learn from mistakes and refactor is stifled in the name of velocity. The disconnection from end-users and the hiring of inexperienced developers who call themselves "senior" exacerbate the problem. The writer shares a personal experience of working on a project with lax security and hastily added features, abstracted away by JIRA tickets, and wonders why failed projects are not reported in the news.

Strangely, I put the summary into GPT-3 and asked it to expand it to 1107 words in the first person. And it came back exactly with the OP.

If you mean like a monkey banging on a keyboard trying to produce the works of Shakespeare then I would agree.

Oh you lucky thing.

There are entire roles where you can just stylise Jira, create tickets and move them around for people.....

You don't even have to punch a card to use it.
