Move the daily to just before noon: it does not stop you during work and people tend to keep it short because they're hungry. And you can have people coming in late in the morning and not be a problem. They're a good way to handle people who don't communicate well: if it looks like a junior is blocked on something and does not like to ask for help another dev can easily propose a pair-coding session. But you need to only have devs or former devs so you don't get the feeling you get judged because your "what have I done last day" is "mainly nothing, this ticket is not exciting so I'm going slow".
