Anakin Padme meme:

Anakin: I will use agile to plan my project
Padme: 2-3 sprints ahead right?

Nah. It doesn't say not to plan. It says to prefer responding to change over planning. Which means both happen but responding to change is more crucial. Or put another way don't let your plan get in the way of responding to change.

I'm sure you were being sarcastic, but I get kind of tired of the Agile strawman and people shitting on it. It's not a complex philosophy yet people extrapolate so much (too much) and then get annoyed when their assumptions don't pan out well. even performing sprints is an extrapolation, so this meme gets it wrong too.

Well that's largely because so few companies are doing agile correctly. Its usually some form of agilefall.
