> they do the push-up/plank thing if you want to speak

Is this punishment for having standup? Fine, let's get rid of it. Instead, let's have a team meeting over coffee for 15min every morning where we discuss our challenges from yesterday, and what we think we'll do today, and anything keeping us from working.

I always read it as a kind of pushback against the meeting; the engineers saying "fuck this" to the project manager. But, I agree, whether it's self-inflicted masochism or basic corporate sadism, it's stupid either way.
