It means that the day to day job is easy and mindless, even if it is some ok work being done during those meetings. Doing all the real work in a meeting every other week does seem soul crushing.

There’s a difference between breaking down a complex technical problem in a few days (my approach) and doing it on the fly while doing a sprint planning. Most of Agile people want you to give estimates and simple dumb tasks that break down a complex one; this is fine... but hey, it will take me a week to do so! This is not OK for them (they want the estimate while doing the sprint planning).
