Whilst I believe standup is a good idea on paper, in practice I find it often runs into some of the same repeating problems, with perhaps the most pervasive of all being my lack of ability to remember.

Therefore, rather than succumbing to this, I decided to see if I could use my skills to resolve it, and ended up doing so, using a tool I've overlooked.

A developer automates their daily standup meetings by building a workflow automation system using N8N. The solution integrates with GitHub, Linear, and Slack to automatically collect work activity data, summarize it using an LLM, and distribute standup updates via Slack and email. The implementation includes handling both synchronous and asynchronous standup scenarios, with conditional logic based on calendar events.

Fixing standup the only way I know how.
