Yeah, a few tens of seconds is all I&#x27;m talking about too. We may differ mostly in terminology.<p>Typically when someone says &quot;we&#x27;re a little stuck on how to do X&quot; someone else chimes in with how to do it. No big (or small) list of questions to discuss.<p>If the meeting is done right, the team is not bored, and what&#x27;s discussed is interesting to the whole team, since we collectively own the code base.<p>I&#x27;ve definitely met those loner programmers. I might even have been a little like that a long time ago. They can do great work, but need to be kept out of my agile teams.<p>The way to get people to talk about the work is to pair program. I&#x27;m not interested in working solo programming.
