True, I suppose. But I think you'd be hard pressed to find even a plurality of developers who'd embrace the whole "my team at work is my tribe" thing. Perhaps it's motivating for some, but I would guess that for the majority of developers it would be an active turn-off, or at the very least neutral and not helpful.

And, at it's face, it's simply false. Companies (and the teams within) are factually not families, or tribes, or anything of the sort. They are a group of people working together for economic gain. They share very little resemblance to families or tribes in real life, and I can't see making that comparison as anything but a plea for loyalty... loyalty that will never be returned by the company when it's not convenient.

If I were interviewing at a company and they tried to justify having a standup using this rationale, I would stop considering them, as would many (most?) developers I know.
