It seems to me like a high number of commenters are getting REALLY hung up on your "bullshitting my way through standup" comment. I want to clarify—was it your intention to say that you simply say what needs to be said to communicate: "Yeah I am getting my expected deliverables delivered"? My suspicion (and the way I read your post) is that you're meeting expectations, so sometimes at standup you have to diplomatically say, "Yeah I didn't really do much but I'm still on track". If that's the case, I honestly see nothing wrong. I do this myself from time-to-time, and it's usually due to poorly defined requirements. It's always a phase and eventually I'll have moments of brilliance—churning out days of code in just a few hours. But honestly, that's normal for me. I know nothing different if that's wrong or bad.
