Related to this is that the activation energy required to communicate makes serendipitous learning and normalization harder for early-career people. https://twitter.com/jeanqasaur/status/1493773719147188229

Low friction hallway/lunch conversations can reduce time spent in this mode, but are hard to replicate when everything is a āmeetingā over VC. DMs help, but random graphs donāt scale and lack signals to non-participants that an interesting conversation is happening.
Replying to @mweagle
When something is broken there can be a bias to think āit must work for everyone else, itās just me.ā Thatās often not true, but the ambient signals of frustration & passive learning from later stage team members are missing.
