This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Do you get to talk over someone out of turn by doing a harder plank variation?
I kind of wish you hadn't said this. Somewhere someone is reading this and thinking it's actually not a bad idea.
- HarryHirsch 7y agoNow we know why software is, as a rule, crap. Can you imagine a team of chemical engineers designing a plant, there are sub-teams for the different subsystems, and during an integration meeting, whenever someone raises a points or has concerns about this or that working nice with the rest of the design, they have to drop to the floor and give ten so that the meeting is over faster! We wouldn't tolerate bridges and sewage plants built like that! It's fucking unthinkable, except in software!

- chucksmash 7y agoSoftware was, as a rule, crap long before this ridiculous fad. Most standups I've participated in (four orgs now) have been ICs giving daily status reports for the benefit of the manager in the room. People making up silly rules to hurry through the thing (like, say, "we all have to stand for this meeting") makes more sense in that context.
