This whole concept seems silly, to be honest. It seems like it's designed to pull out status updates from people who wouldn't otherwise participate and wouldn't ask for help on their own, but at a set schedule. If I'm blocked, then i might as well drop a message in the group channel or eventually tag specific people who i think could help me. Or some people just choose to PM me directly. The only worth that I'd get from a meeting with everyone together is actually talking about details that might be interesting: "Last week i ran into a race condition in the code, here's what it was, here's how i solved it and here's how to avoid them in the future," in lieu of discussions like that in the chat channel. As a developer, i don't care if person A is working on X, Y and Z or is blocked, if i cannot help when with any of those. If management needs status updates, we might as well automate them with "Standup & Prosper" (https://standup.teaminator.io/ https://standup.teaminator.io/) or a similar chat bot that gives you fields to fill out. Even freeform daily messages seem more reasonable than forcing everyone to do some silly ceremony. Now, here's my question to you: what am I missing?
