I can't speak for everybody. But for me: yes, a 5 minute standup is valuable. It's much, much better than a 30 minute standup IMO. Most people can pay attention for 5 minutes. So if the meeting's only 5 minutes, most people will actually listen and engage. Followups can happen afterwards. If the standup is 30 minutes though, most people are probably going to tune out and start doing other stuff. It becomes an "ignore the meeting while I wait for my turn" kind of thing. A waste of everybody's time. I don't want to watch the team-lead click a Jira board for 30 minutes, and I'm guaranteed to get bored and tune out. And once that attention's been lost, the standup loses a lot of utility.
