Re:Small Changes That Made Our Daily Stand-Ups More Useful on Tuesday August 05, 2025 @09:36PM (#44806703)
I feel so strongly about this topic that I recorded a podcast episode on it with my at the time business partner[1]. I think that maybe the only relevant reason to have a synchronous standup is to align on the biggest problem to solve in the next workday.

A standup of this model goes something like this: what is the goal for the day? What support is needed to make it happen? etc.

I like the idea of this and the use case, but don't love the tight coupling to openai. I'd love to see a framework for allowing BYOM.

I sort of fell out of love with programming for a while, but lately I've been building a toy html engine in rust[1]. I hope to eventually build a full rust browser.
