People in tech keep complaining about daily standup don't know that is a common practice in pretty much every line of work. It's just a team synchronisation moment.

A meeting with that periodicity (or a multiple of it) is common on shift-based jobs that oversee constant operations.

It's not common on any other line of work... well, except for software development, that is almost universally single-shift, non-operational, and some people insist has exactly the same needs as overseeing patients in a hospital.

I've been on daily standups for groups of people who weren't on a team. It was like a floor's #random slack channel.

It’s a common practice to describe who farted and how loud yesterday?

That's very surprising to me. Even in tech it became common only a decade or so ago. I don't know any other industry where it is common, except the military and the daily morning flag raising/morning formation...
