I know stand-ups are hated by a lot of devs, but I actually find them worthwhile in my current job. The keys points seem to be:
1. It's a small fully remote team.
2. The stand-ups are short, usually about 5 minutes and rarely more than 10.
For me they are an easy way to keep up with what other people are working on. When I need to make some changes to a module I'm not familiar with it's helpful to be vaguely aware of who has been working on what.
It's also a convenient time to bring something to a coworkers attention. I'll often come up with a few questions that aren't particularly urgent. In those cases, I'll save them for the next morning's standup rather than directly messaging that person and potentially interrupting their workflow.
