I'm new to this weekly syncup thing with my manager and he already knows the things I work on through daily standups, the issues I've faced or things that have gone great through retros after every sprint.

This gives me little to talk about with my manager except personal goals sometimes, a bit about our lives in general, etc. I was wondering what you guys discuss and how do you make best use of this meeting?

After shooting the shit for the customary 5 min, it's usually

Talking about efforts to mentor junior devs on the team. How they're doing, etc
Catching my manager up on convos and meetings they missed recently
Them explaining some new system or codebase I haven't worked with yet
some sort of HR thing (Raises, PTO, performance reviews, etc)
