Here's how we do it:

- Get rid of as many standing meetings as you can, and then get rid of more of them (1 a week is max)

- At the end of every standing meeting, ask the group "Do we still need this meeting?"

- If you feel you need a regular standup, do it on slack/whatever-you-use instead and asynchronous

- The non-makers still need to be able to communicate with the makers, provide a clear chain of communication so that the smallest number of makers are disturbed in an ad-hoc fashion, preferably only 1 (usually a tech lead / engineering manager)
