The infrastructure wasn't improved? Pretty much all of the video conferencing tools are much better and tools that didn't have screen sharing & video calls added it. Plus the vast majority of people have actually used those tools now. Pre-pandemic group video calls existed via Teams but a lot of people never used them.

I doubt GS's internal culture applies to any startups... not every company needs an apprenticeship culture and it would be a large capital and time expense for startups. GS's model is very different (IIRC), hire a lot of young talent out of premier institutions, then see who's left after 2+ years of 50+ work hour weeks.

It's very HN to think infrastructure is "zoom" and not the implied: internet, housing, roads, power.
