I was working on a project once where the daily stand-up became the tem leads 15-minute "this company is bullshit!"-infused rant. The daily quarter hour predication coming from him was terrible for tracking where the team was, but established his gatekeeper role pretty well.
In another project we followed the 3-question rule (what did yesterday, what do today, what blockers) verbatimly. Meaning, answering these three questions to a slack bot. I'm not sure the answers were ever assessed, so not sure about how well tracking our team performance was.
These two examples showed me that taking daily standups to the extremes and never reflecting on this ceremony at all is the bad thing, not the daily stand-up per se. That's why I also find this article a bit...extreme, and therefore not necessarily applicable to every team.
