"Standups" are micromanagement. Which other high level profession does this. Doctors are not interrogated daily by some charlatan with a certificate for a 2 day course. PhD programs in CS/Maths tend not to do "standups". Asynchronous communication could replace most meetings at your regular CRUD sweatshop anyway.
"you can in fact work in a silo and function very well in a team at the same point. As long as you never tell anyone that matter that you do this.. You update your status, you help stuck team mates and you tell your part at the standup."
I was pointing out that someone who is doing exactly what dusted wrote should be done, is not in a silo.
Your disagreement with dusted about the appropriateness of a standup is a tangent I am not able to participate in, having been in roughly 5 standups in my programming career.
