Same. I don't hate them (they last at most 10 min.), but as someone who has been working for more than 12 years in the industry I think managers/teams do daily stand-ups because of cargo cult.


It's a really boring 10 minutes though and it happens everyday. And it translates to more than 10 minutes of wasted time because of the context switch (and the added drudgery that can affect morale)


Same here. I went looking for a non-standup job last month.. I didn't come across any.


My current company has one once a week which is tolerable. We're hiring, especially for FE developers if you're interested.
