> In general, [managers] prefer a meeting with 20+ or 50+ engineers in one place, each giving 1 minute or longer feedback, because they can do that every day and in an hour, they know what everybody is doing.
Most of the time they don’t even know what everybody is doing, or why, or how. But they like to fool themselves into thinking that, because ??? it given them the warm fuzzies, I guess.
Then they just wasted everybody’s time for absolutely no reason at all.
As a manager, I would hate that. Have small groups of 5-8 do standups. There's no reason to waste ten thousand dollars a day on that many people waiting for each other's status updates.
