Some Ado about Scrumjax
I really enjoyed this Dadhacker post. I got confused by all the other comments so far, so I’m going to ignore them and just mention the point that I think resonates with me. 
Whenever I have some really hard problems in my mental heap, i probably spend a ratio of 4:1 subconscious processing to conscious processing. That’s kinda how I justify all the time I spend running around the web, doodling, woolgathering, drawing out ideas on paper, etc. Most days when I was forced to do this, I would pick one or two small bugs to fix so i’d at least have something to talk about at the daily meeting. It’s more or less impossible to tell everyone what my subconscious has been working on the last day. At the least, I always felt somewhat intellectually dishonest when trying to report activities that have their roots in some portion of creativity as well as mechanical work.
The main benefit of talking regularly is available if um, you talk regularly, but I think the main appeal of Scrumjax is to have stuff to report up a chain in a medium to large sized group of programmers that don’t really talk with each other naturally.
