I hate morning scrum meetings.

    I really miss the weekly status meeting. Agile has made work totally endless, without any rest or respite, except what you can find when you finish up a task and simply don't take another one at the end of the day.

    Me too! Scrum became a shitty fashion where even companies who don't need it play with

    @djsumdog If you can't keep up with the pace of the sprints and feel like you need to rest, then possibly your team is not practicing Scrum correctly.

    Quoting one of the Agile Manifesto's principles: (yes I'm that kind of guy)
    "The sponsors, developers, and users should be able 
    to maintain a constant pace indefinitely."

    So try to seek a pace that provides both (technical) quality and business value in a way that you don't need to rest.

    Often going "slower" and taking the time you know the job demands, will result in fewer bugs and less technical debt. As a result you will go faster in the long run (and often surprisingly also in the short run).

    But the bad news is that this is very hard to get to. You need the whole team to have the same mindset and take a stance.

    Try discussing it in your next retrospective.
