As a comparison, despite the agile suggested recognition that pointless wastes of time are pointless, we continue to do standup for approximately 15 minutes each day where the only thing anyone pays any attention to is whether its their turn to spout some words.

This is my life but with derails often. I gave up trying to right the ship and just sinking with the rest of the crew.

Last week our 15 minute stand up turned into 2 people talking for 30 minutes. I know this from another team member because I disconnected after 5 minutes of derail.

I feel that pain so much. I basically lose my mornings every day until our 9:45 standup is over. I get in around 7:30 when the rest of the team shows up around 9 to 9:30 so I spend most of the morning in our public team chat rooms answering questions or fighting the first fires of the day. I've found if I don't log on to our chat until after stand up I'm much better off. This only works probably until a hand grenade is left brewing in a chat room early morning and nobody sees it. Yay DevOps that is being treated like an Operations team right now. Maybe I should start coming in to work later...

We have quite a number of these particular workers, and good goddamn are they the worst. I know meetings are important, but there is an upper limit on how many you can have in a day before your productivity suffers.

Anything past a standup is loving worthless for 99% of devs.
