There are routines we all follow, often without question, things we've done for so long that they seem unquestionable. Take breakfast, for instance. How often do we question whether it's truly the most important meal of the day? Have you ever considered that it might be a bad way to start your morning?

It might be interesting to look into that breakfast question later, but my point is how easily we accept routines as the 'best' way to go. In the developer's world, the daily standup is like breakfast: we do it first thing in the morning, it seems essential, and almost everyone is doing it.

Now, I know what you might be thinking. But no, I'm not here to list '10 signs your company isn't agile,' nor do I have a solution behind a mailing list. What you'll find here are a few scattered thoughts and stories that might make you look at things a little differently.
