I find it interesting how literal people took that.
Must I have provided a lengthy, detailed example of what I would say at a standup? I'm the guy who pushed for people to provide more detail at standup. I thought I'd communicated my point and didn't think it a particularly good use of my time or anyone else's to spend more time on that sentence. Now I regret writing that it at all.
If anyone manages to read this, keep in mind that I was not suggesting that a professional update along the lines of "d'uhhh... i did a thing" is particularly valid.
Then don't. Give specifics about what you did, what you accomplished or didn't accomplish, and what your next steps are. Provide evidence of forward velocity, or ask for help if you're stuck. The key here is accountability. Don't be "the guy in a room" who doesn't apprise the team of what's going on in his world. That guy is first in line to be fired.
