Yes it is possible if you realize that you aren't supposed to inform everyone present of the whole technical detail of what you did or are facing, and that issues are not resolved in the standup. The idea is to make the connections needed with the people present, to help with the issue after standup (Bob is having issues with authentication on API x, and Sally says she might know how to help. They will take this up after the meeting). Status updates should also not go into detail. You might be proud of your very cool efficient implementation for a sorting problem, but get your ego stroked someplace else please (PR's are a good place for that). Most important of all; empower every team member to shut down this kind of time wasting for the rest of the team, by simply saying that this kind of talk should be taken up after the meeting. Me and my team and a financial institution do this, and it does not matter who is in the meeting (PO's, executive directors etc).
