Clickbait article that make a huge load of completely unfounded, sweeping assertions. "The practical reality is that you only care about what another team member worked on yesterday if it enables you to do your job (i.e. it unblocks you). Anything shared that does not explicitly unblock you is meaningless noise." Except when it helps you avoid merge conflicts when the other team member announces they're going to refactor a component that you've just started implementing a new feature in. Or when it gives you a cue to add an important insight into their task. The truth is, Standup meetings are very often badly run, people go into way too much detail about their tasks and start in-depth discussions that should be done one-on-one, and neglect the "what's blocking me" part, which is far more important than the "status update" parts. Standups need someone to act as moderator who prevents them from running off course, or they can become terribly unproductive - exactly the same as any other kind of meeting.
