There seems to be a surprising amount of antipathy towards standups in this thread. Reasonable people may disagree about how useful they are, sure, but the suggestion that 15 minutes of daily coordination is somehow a foundational problem in modern software engineering strikes me as pretty unrealistic.

I would suggest that if you truly believe standups are some deeply destructive tool of mismanagement you probably have much bigger problems with your company or role that you're projecting on to this rather innocuous meeting.

What is surprising about a bunch of introverted people not wanting to be forced to stand up and loudly declare what their day was like to the entire team every day?
