"Daily stand-ups are for coordinating with the other devs. E.g. "It will take a couple extra days to do this backend API that you are waiting for", "I'm a bit stuck, anybody will have free time today to pair program?", "Who is able to drop their low priority task so that the high priority one gets done on time?"

Why do you need standups for this? They should talk to each other directly.
- higeorge13 5y agoBecause sometimes devs might not be listening/talking to others, and just need someone to organize an offline discussion to unblock them. I have been to a team where X would need help on something that Y has solved in the past, Y does not care to listen in the standup and volunteer to help, and i had to ping him “Hey Y you have resolved this in the past, care to help X after the standup?” Shitty standups go bidirectional ways. Managers can make them terrible, but devs can do that as well.
