🧩 Series Context

“Last week, we tamed the Frankenstack — the creature stitched together from every app that promised efficiency but delivered exhaustion.

This week, we lift the veil and discover the watcher behind the monster: the dashboards, metrics, and eyes that never blink.”

The Collapse of Efficiency isn’t just about the systems we built — it’s about how those systems learned to watch us back.

The Circle of Eyes 🧿

It began as a harmless transparency initiative — a dashboard for accountability, a shared document for visibility.

The promise of visibility became the pressure of performance.
The light we built to reveal the truth now burns too bright to see it.

“What began as transparency became a ritual of exposure.”
