One thing I always find frustrating about posts like this is that they identify a problem but make no attempt to help articulate a path to a solution. It's reasonable to suggest standups and other meetings be async. What would be better is to take the time to design a proposed solution for solving the problem standups solve, even if it ends up being a messy or bad one. That's a much more effective way to complain about a problem than simply spending words trying to convince people that something is bad. Offer an alternative. Create debate. Put in the work to solve it.
