It’s interesting how the author makes the same mistake with the title. It’s not agile that is stupid. Actually it’s original manifesto mentions specifically: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.

Seeing them as peers instead of ‘idiots’ would also help.

The author seems to like the original ideas of the manifesto and I don't see where he's called its authors idiots.

In fact, the title specifically says "modern agile" is bad, which implies what came after its initial proposal. In the conclusion, its also stated that the Manifesto "is very clearly an anti-prescription stance. And it’s a good stance."

I think the post you're replying to is suggesting that the author should view the 'Agile' practioners they work with to as peers, not idiots - TFA author isn't calling the agile manifesto's authors idiots.
