A Drupal Couple
Two of us, building with Drupal.
What worked, what broke, and what it cost.
Two of us write here, in English and Spanish, part of the Drupal community in both Latin America and the US. We show what we shipped, what broke, and what it cost. Tell us where your experience differs.

We used our own plugins and skills to rebuild our site, here is the story
We pointed the plugins and skills we built ourselves at our own site, and rebuilt the whole thing, brand and all, in about a week of supervised time. Here is what that was actually like: what the tools did well, where they were confidently wrong, and where a human had to step in.

Why I Believe in Agentic Recipes
I built my AI tooling one layer at a time, each piece added because something was breaking when I did not have it: scope, atomic guides, the curl rule, validators, the playbook.

Both are opinions, but they are not the same artifact shape. This post walks that journey to the layer I think is missing, and asks whether other people building AI tooling on real projects feel the same gap.

The Blueprint for Affordable Drupal Projects
Drupal CMS 2.0, Canvas, Recipes, and Dripyard have changed the economics of Drupal for regional markets. This is the blueprint for building professional Drupal sites at $1,000 to $2,000 with real margin, for LATAM, Africa, Asia, and similar markets that Drupal could not serve before.
Why I Do Not Trust Independent AI Agents Without Strict Supervision
A developer who uses AI coding tools daily shares real examples of why autonomous AI agents still need human supervision. From unnecessary technical debt to context pollution to confidently wrong outputs, AI works best when a human is asking the right questions.
I Wanted to Celebrate Drupal's 25th. So I Built Something for Our Moms.
For Drupal's 25th anniversary, I built laollita.es—a multilingual recipe site—in 3 days using AI. Here's what modern Drupal can actually do today.
