In the world where Slack exists, standups are simply an idiotic cargo cult and a waste of time. Just post your goddamn status on a Slack channel at a predetermined time and read other people's status if you feel you need to know that neither you nor other people haven't accomplished much in a day. 3 minutes, async, done. And for communication use VC or Huddle _without_ waiting for a standup, or ping your peers on Slack too.
Or better yet, just treat your people like adults, give them sizable chunks of work, and give them a bonus if they do it with high quality and quickly, which is otherwise known as "management". That's how Google worked back in the day, and it works fine, as long as you hire well, and pay well.
