A standup is for communication. "Here's what I'm working on, here's something cool I found out, Oh hey I have some code related to what you're working on, I need help, That sounds awesome, What a pain in the ass setting up VMs is", etc. I've actually found it's also a good way for the manager to communicate what s/he is doing, by participating as an equal. The standup should not devolve into the manager pointing a figure at each team member and asking them when they'll be done with a certain task.
