Jira is agile: do you use Jira and Confluence and consider this one of the main reasons contributing to your agility? Congratulations, you are part of the problem.
Boring Backlog: fixed really hard bug? Implemented complex algorithm or cut processing time from 10 hours to 22 seconds? It doesn’t matter, just pick another thing from backlog. Scrum/backlog promotes code monkeys where good effort isn’t rewarded. Personal efforts don’t matter.
Story points implementation: as long as story is implemented, quality or tech-debt doesn’t matter.
This is perfect.
I’m going to save this and refer to it, along with the half arsed agile manifesto.
Edit: I also would like to take a moment to invoke the “no true Scottsman” fallacy, by saying they’re just doing it wrong. /s
