I applaud your 80s muzak theme. I found "My own personal brand of agile aligns with Amazon’s philosophy around one-way doors and two-way doors." interesting as it reminded me about a faciteous argument that "Communism has never failed, it just hadn't been implemented correctly". So here we can say that the Amazon agile method has likely been successful for Amazon, but another company attempting Amazon practices will struggle without that particular culture.
This one hit home. I've been on both sides of this. Not enough design. Too much design. AFAICT, there is no perfect answer (like so many things). I've reconciled myself to the point that, it's better to have a bias for action than to be stuck in analysis paralysis.
