> waiting a full day to raise blockers is foolish

that does not make sense. Just because you have a short sync meeting once a day, it does mean should should delay all work until then.




I'm having trouble parsing the last half of your sentence, but I'm going to assume (please correct me if I'm wrong here) that you meant:

"Just because you have a short sync meeting once a day, it doesn't mean you should delay all work until then."

And yes, I totally agree! If you're blocked on something, you should raise it immediately, so you're not delaying all work until your next standup! If you do have other work to do, you should still raise the issue immediately, figure out who should own the blocker (if it's non-trivial, your manager will likely find ownership for you), and then move onto another task until the blocker is resolved. You gain nothing by waiting until the next day, and possibly exacerbate the problem if you do wait.
