1. fixed some paths
2. isn't this the same as 1?
3. maybe drugs I don't know. some shitty TV show. running tests in the background and getting ideas randomly and tweaking stuff. things looking good
4. anyone helpful
I did it! I'm part of the team! where does the flexing step in 🤔 -
BordedDev1366183d@retoor Until you get the "managers"/PMs "hey we were thinking about this feature"
It also functions as a morning roll call to see who's late (yes, I've seen people get in trouble because of stand-up missing/being late for it). It's not meant to wait for anyone, damn it! (had 1 client do them properly, and I miss working with/for her)
I tend to page out pretty quickly once they start prattling -
lorentz15156182dI think in both cases "stand up" refers to the length; it's a session too short to sit down. Then again, to make daily stand ups that short you need a scrum master who's awake and a team that's roughly scrum-sized. (the scrum master can be the dev with the least worst people skills)

lorentz15156182d@BordedDev I hate the roll call aspect so much. All my coworkers are early birds, the 9am standup is midday for half the team so they resist my campaign to move it a bit later in the day even though management is empathetic to my pleas. As a night owl I'm useless until 11 and the earlier you wake me up the more time I spend grumpily and unsuccessfully trying to gather my thoughts on the clock.

BordedDev1366182d@lorentz It gets better, my current PM likes putting all the meetings in the afternoon. I have days with more meeting than work time :(
Is there a hidden joke in the fact that stand up meetings/daily stand-ups share the same word root with stand up comedy? It would seem the creators of that pointless activity thought it naughty/mischievous, if not a humorous giveaway that those gatherings are more for fun, entertainment, a joke, and a platform for product managers to not feel left out from the development process
