alt Hacker NewsA 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.

Ah, you're right, handover procedures between shifts.
Yes, it makes sense when there is a "hand off" of continuing operations to the next shift.
For something like software, being produced by ICs or even pairs, a fixed daily meeting is much more likely (at least in my experience) to become a ceremony[1] over time even if it is occasionally or initially beneficial.
