Thank you! No matter how I explain this simple idea that standups are nothing but micromanagement, it never rings a bell. They might work in very limited situations and scopes, but they are never a generic framework to follow, and I blame Silicon Valley for normalizing it. What is worse is some companies try to force it in engineering work, and not just the software part of engineering, where you could spend a whole two weeks researching some topic. I remember in a previous job a novice manager (who only managed few coops before) tried to force it in a company that built robotics, and later I explained to him that they don't add any value let alone increase productivity. He took it personally and it was the crack that eventually was the reason why I left the company, despite me loving the technical work part.
