because they're unnecessary. I legitimately lose an hour a day due to them. I've started coming in late so I slide immediately into the daily standup because otherwise I fart around for the first 30-45 minutes until the standup starts.

There's just no deep work that can be done during that time, and that's every day.

I agree, that happens and it's really bad. When to hold standup is definitely an important question. I like first thing when people get in or two hours after everyone gets in.
