      When agile works, it actually works pretty well.
      99% of the agile projects i’ve been in were waterfall in disguise (fragile for short).

      What they did was far beyond “agile”. They didn’t care for naming conventions, documentation, not committing commented-out code, using existing solutions (both in-house and third-party) instead of reinventing the wheel…

      In that first review I had literally hundreds of comments that each on their own would be a reason to reject the pull request.

      Sounds like you had a bad experience with the failed attempt at establishing agile development methods - sorry to hear that.

      I just want to encourage you to give it another go with other developers that are more experienced with the methodology - in my company we’re working successfully that way for over a decade.
