I'm on your side. But some, maybe most people, prefer synchronous talking. And even with async, making a point of daily updates keeps teams focused.

- ants_a 7y agoSynchronous talking has a synchronization overhead. If you do the stand-up in the beginning of the day it forces everyone to arrive at the same time. If you do it in the middle of the day it is an interruption for everybody. It's usually just not worth the costs to create meetings just to satisfy the interaction needs of extroverts in your team.
