    The purpose of stand up is to not listen to anything and say a sentence that no one listens to. It’s like a Buddhist meditation.

      Yeah - it’s an art to find the perfect mix between “sounds complicated enough that they zone out”, “sounds like stuff gets done” and “not making people ask if you need help with that”.

      lol I hope your standups are not actually like this! The purpose is to, as a team, plan how to achieve a goal

        I’m not actually a programmer (/engineer) I’m just a hobbyist. I work in supply chain, have worked at 4 companies in 8 years - all had stand ups, all of them are like this.
