And you admit to do so openly at your daily agile meetings?

Because for me, the problem is that every day I am expected to produce some code, and reading is something... that is kinda supposed to happen... but at the same time it is also not supposed to actually take time, at least not on the scale of days.

Admittedly, I'm in a comfortable position that allows me to be very liberal with how I spend my time at work. I'm a developer at a small company that isn't focused on tech, but manufactures physical porducts - there aren't any agile meetings and to the rest of the staff that kind of work looks like black magic.

That's the problem with daily standups, they're micro-management.
