These days, with powerful tools like jira/github/gitlab you can do the update and ask for help in a much more convenient text format, easily searchable and referencable. And you can do that all day every day, if your team is good you’ll get an answer much sooner than “once per day”. With that in mind, the standup’s role is sort of weird - everyone agrees that “it’s important”, but for everything you actually do in it there are better ways to do it. Maybe it’s the actual talking with other human beings thats the important part, where you can see that your team mates have their own struggles and problems, to read their body language and feel a bit more part of the tribe. And if _that’s_ the case, maybe we’ve missed the whole point of the standup? We could make the standup a small slack post, and have a “talkie time” set up each day just to feel human?
