The Daily Standup Is Broken, What Should You Do Now?

I had daily standups at my last job and I dreaded them every day. It was mostly pointless.

The main problem is that I would have to take time out of my day, many times in the middle of a coding session, to have a 30/1 hour meeting where we could have mostly given the same information in the form of a simple slack message.

Since these standups were in the middle of the afternoon, I almost never actually got back into coding the rest of the day.

Now, I have no regularly scheduled meetings. Everything is as-needed and it's great.

I also noticed that business people love early morning standups and developers love mid-afternoon standups.
