In today's world of online work, I feel the stand-up is losing it's value. As Jason Fried (37signals, Basecamp) quite well stated many years ago: to embrace a fully decentralized online way of working, is to embrace asynchronous communication.

The idea we need to "come together" to "talk about what we're doing" is invalidated if we can do this much better and more effectively when allowing for a decentralized and documentend working environment.

Why I prefer collaborating with designers who use tools such as Figma, is the fact I can annotate their work, not expecting an immediate response, but allowing them to handle my comment in an appropriate manner, when they seem fit, how they seem fit.

Almost nothing these days need an acute response.

I agree.

Modern collaborative tooling has made stand-ups obsolete.
