Launching @vorfluxai : The autopilot for software engineering. I was prev co-founder / CTO of @Rippling ($10B) and #1 coder in India. Vorflux is my high octane Ferrari.

Every AI coding tool still makes you fly the plane. That's the copilot model: you stay in the seat, approving every turn. The models quietly got good enough to fly the whole route, but the tools never caught up.
So we built the autopilot.

@vorfluxai raised a $15M seed by @ycombinator @peakxvpartners @alliancedao @parkerconrad @jake_zeller @balajis @nivi @metakovan @lmrankhan @nikitabase @0xrwu @ayushjaiswal @mattshumer_ @eshamanideep @sreeramkannan @dvcoolster @nusimow @TeddySolomon11 @ashtoncofer @rvivek etc

Drop your biggest engineering bottleneck below. I'll reply with how I'd attack it with Vorflux, and hand you $200 in free credits to bang out your backlog.

Mark Rappolt Editor-in-Chief, ArtReview, reflects on Padimai as a space that speaks the language of today, moving beyond painting and sculpture to engage digital technologies, bridging digital and embodied experience, and reaching audiences beyond traditional museum models.

Your view matter, inviting each participant into an immersive personal experience, where perception is not fixed but continuously shaped by one’s movement and presence. The experience does not end with the headset—it unfolds through conversation & shared presence in the gallery.

“As the title says, Your View Matters—the way you move constitutes the artwork. You put on the headset, and you are inside the work. It makes the invisible visible.” — Olafur Eliasson

Olafur Eliasson’s Your view matter (2022/2025), VR artwork exhibited at Padimai Art & Tech Studio. Open till 31st March 2026.

Founder @vigsun, in conversation with Kathleen Ditzig at SAW 2026, traced Padimai’s roots in blockchain culture, cyberpunk, and early NFT. He reimagines blockchain as an archival tool, positioning Padimai as a space for “on-chain residencies” and new digital commons.
