Ah yes, the mythical high ownership, high autonomy engineer that just magically does what you need and also wants to work for you and your company. Sure, no stand ups required then. Or how about the mythical perfectly written ticket with zero ambiguity about anything. Yep. Total autonomy. The rub is everything about building software is imperfect. The only place perfection exists is in the mind of “senior” engineers gazing lovingly at their own code.
