Hi, I'm Adrià Cidre

I build software — and the products around it — for a living, and write about it here. Lately obsessed with AI agents and what they actually change about how we work — when the demos are over and the real code starts.

If something here resonated or you just want to have a chat, I'm always open for a good conversation — find me on GitHub or LinkedIn, or email me at me@adriacidre.com.

Work with me

I am open to founding or early engineer roles, to leading a small team that ships its own product, and to agentic-workflow contracts. On the contract side, teams hire me to design and ship agentic workflows: the kind that run overnight, catch what manual QA misses, and integrate with existing infrastructure without a rewrite. See the writing. If you are hiring or building something in this space, reach out.

Don't Delete the Row. Delete the Key.

Append-only history and GDPR-style erasure look incompatible. They are not, if you put the secret in two places.

There Is No Workflow Engine. It's Just Git.

My agent pipeline runs for hours, survives Ctrl+C, and resumes from where it stopped. There's no Temporal, no queue, no database. The state lives in YAML files and commits.

I've Been Shipping 'Multi-Tenant' Wrong for a Decade

Every system I built had a tenant_id column and a discipline problem. This is the first one where the database itself refuses to return the wrong rows.

Voice Agents Don't Need to Be Faster — They Need to Feel Faster

Two agents with identical latency can feel completely different. The gap is fixable at the orchestration layer, without touching the model.

I ran a maintenance agent for 10 days. The number that mattered was 14

A maintenance agent filed 559 bugs and fixed 412 on its own. The interesting number is the 14 it refused to touch.

Parallelism Was a Workaround. Agents Make It Optional.

Feature branches and merge queues were how we coped with slow humans. When an agent finishes a task in ten minutes, the overhead is the bottleneck.
