I have a sneaking suspicion the author’s next article will be something along the lines of “people who are worse engineers than me keep getting promoted, and it’s not fair”.

We lengthed ours a bit and encouraged more dialog rather than just focusing on the traditional 3 questions (what did you work on since last standup, what are you doing before next standup, and where are you blocked) and it's been much more productive.
