I would quit any job with daily or 3x a week meetings. What an energy drain.
Really great developers don’t need your help dude.
What value occurs in these meetings other than you getting to pry into the micro details of what everyone is doing for the sake of your own sense of control? Does anything really change that much day to day that needs you to constantly check in on what people are doing?
Sorry man - it’s clueless old school management. Creative developers don’t need to be harassed three times a week.
Extremely junior intern level developers might need it. Even then it’s excessive (3x). Anyone with experience will leave. My guess is you are the type that likes to build a little fiefdom you control, it doesn’t work anymore.
My entire career (20 years working at startups and fangs), the super star developers check in every two weeks. Or maybe a once weekly sync. 3x is …. Why?
- kthejoker2 5y agoThe point of a standup is to tell your team what you're working on, and what help you might need, and conversely to hear what they're working on, and offer help that they might need. To avoid silos and silent struggles, and to have the "superstar" devs support those "extremely junior devs". If what you're working on doesn't require a standup, maybe it's not actually a team project?
