Prasanna Sankar (co-founder/CTO of Rippling, founder of Vorflux) publishes "The Great Flattening" — a manifesto-essay arguing that coding models have become **superhuman** and that the bottleneck has shifted from code production to **encoding judgment** into *agent harnesses*. Everything inside the organization "collapses toward the harness"; everyone's real work becomes *self-profiling*: extracting the tacit decision frameworks from one's head to encode them into the codebase. Simultaneous launch of Vorflux ("autopilot for software engineering"), $15M seed (Y Combinator, Peak XV Partners, Alliance DAO). The essay drew 60,000+ views on X in 24 hours.
