@ajsadauskas @technology as with so many things it depends on the people involved. we have a daily 15-min standup that's good for raising issues and blockers, asking questions, keeping the team across releases and significant production issues, ensuring that everyone has work for the day, etc. it helps that it's run very effectively. all of that can be and is done in other channels but it's a good way to get everyone on the same page together. does it cost money? all meetings cost money. but i would argue that good efficient meetings pay for themselves.

@pandanus @ajsadauskas @australia my cousin is visiting for the first time. we have two weeks in australia. we're meeting in sydney and then flying to melbourne and it was harder than expected to get him to understand just how much time it would take to fit uluru into our plans (we aren't going).
