On Standups

First of all, it's such a pain to schedule. Impossible to have it first thing in the morning cause there is always a clown who doesn't show up before 10am. Tough to have it just before lunch cause not everybody eats at the same time. So usually it's around 10:30am or 11am. A nice 15 minute interruption in the middle of the morning.

Second, you have the one who says "yesterday I did the API, today I do the API", the one who starts detailing all the modules he wrote yesterday, including how he named all his variables, and the one who starts a "we do it live" design session.

I killed standup on my team and replaced it with a slack channel. Just post your update between 8 and 11 and we're all good. If you're blocked I assume you'll be a grown up and ask for help.
