I feel like I can get all of the things you mentioned without a mandatory daily meeting, either through slack, email, or just conversing with someone. It's not that the daily standup bothers me per se, but lets calculate this out for a second. If the daily standup eats about 15 minutes, and you work about 250 days a year, thats about 3500 minutes spent in a scrum. Considering that, even being charitable, I might hear one useful thing every two weeks... I kinda would rather spend those 3500 minutes elsewhere
