In my experience people generally ignore the processes and only use the tools. After a month on any project they think they're agile because they're using Jira.

That's a very good point and is very often the case. That's how things work a lot of times...you try something, you get some benefit and then you get bored of managing the process so it all slides down the slippery slope into sameness.

Yeah, it's a mental leap that many people and organizations are unwilling or unable to make.
On a recent project, the PM was touting how "we're going to be agile and do iterative development!"
Six weeks later, when a terribly-written 60+ requirements document arrived, they were surprised when I wanted it broken down into jira tickets for each component, with dependencies between the components referenced in the ticket relationships.
I explained the idea was to have smaller, understandable pieces of implementation that we can cross off the list, while keeping in mind the overall whole. Plus that way, if there were bugs/changes we found when implementing piece X, we can just reopen that one ticket, and not have a stream of issues in a single, overarching ticket which would be impossible to track.
Well, that's too hard, apparently. As we know, email is a legitimate change tracking system.
Sigh.

Scrum/Agile is only a lazy excuse to try again and again in case of failures. This instead of first think in more detail and write down the specs as good as possible.

Agile will not solve your problems, but it is not just a myth: it will create problems for you.

Scrums are for where there is no "lead", and you need to know from day-to-day who is doing what instead of simply having a weekly "update" (since the "lead" already knows all).

If you follow Agent 47 (and his "sneak about and kill people, but only the bad guys" games) then you may have it already: GoG: Hitman Absolution[^] - free!

I like the soundtrack and the CGI bullet and gun moment from the movie when he was in the US embassy/consulate.
Hitman Agent 47 (2015) - Police Station Scene (1080p) FULL HD - YouTube (Not sure why the title is Police Station  )
Did you get a chance to play the game? I have tried to play a couple on my Xbox, but they are all boring, and they require a huge amount of patience from the player.

Not yet - spare time issues - but I've played the second in the series, and kind of enjoy the "sneak and snipe" type of "thinking gameplay" instead of the usual "rush in with a big Gnu".

You never used the Gnu mod for Doom?
Including the Double Barreled Shotgnu, the Chaingnu, and not forgetting the Big F'ing Gnu?

If we start telling people the brain is an app will they start using it?

How does the people install your app if they are less then brain?
In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

iTunes, probably.

Now that I think of it, like a gift, it's the thought that counts. But, you missed the safety future included in being a brainless twit (or Millennial, if you distinguish the two).
They know the Zombie Apocalypse is near at hand. When the zombies go hunting for their next meal (brain) they know they'll be perfectly safe. Q.E.D.

Hey - don't feel too bad. It's not wholly your fault that you were born way too late. It's not like anyone asked you. Be positive! Make the best out of starting off on the wrong foot.
