@tomekws65 It's not all bad, and I'm mostly talking about personal stuff.

[Derek E. Silva @DerekSilva]

I told myself 2026 was going to be my best year yet. Almost half way through the year, and in some ways it is among my least favourite years so far. There is still lots to look forward to, but it's going to take even more work than I though to achieve my goals. ✌️

[Derek E. Silva @DerekSilva]

@casapanenka That's a long, but great, read. A third or fourth division team in Nigeria might just be the sweet spot.

@hthieblot Angelfire. It was my gateway to having my own website for the first time.

[Derek E. Silva @DerekSilva]

It’s time to stress test this network!

[🐠 Reef @Reef_Chain]

Reef Pelagia testnet is now live for all to build, test and deploy on!

Pelagia is Reef's public testnet, designed to give developers and builders a production-like environment to experiment, iterate, and validate their applications before deploying to mainnet.

[Derek E. Silva @DerekSilva]

@MosaicProtocol @Reef_Chain Way to go!

[Derek E. Silva @DerekSilva]

@zerufinance I’m loving this direction

[ZeruAI @zerufinance]

2021: Communities moved together

2022-2025: Quest farming and AI slop killed that energy

2026: Communities earning together again

Zaps brings back the 2021 spirit, this time with onchain attribution.

@kuh_nir89657 @Reef_Chain @zerion It's been running, but we had to polish some UI stuff to make it easier to use. Almost there.

[Derek E. Silva @DerekSilva]

New @Reef_Chain testnet app connected to my wallet via @zerion. Very nice.

[Derek E. Silva @DerekSilva]

@drajwer86 Thanks!

I redesigned my website to make it look like my favourite consumer version of Windows. :) Visit https://t.co/hNN5NKaUkx today for some Windows XP nostalgia. New content coming soon, finally.

[Code4rena @code4rena]

After careful consideration, we’ve made the decision to wind down @code4rena. This community has meant a great deal to everyone who has been part of building it, and sharing this news is not easy.

[Derek E. Silva @DerekSilva]

Let's get those docs updated! 👀

[🐠 Reef @Reef_Chain]

Closer and closer to Reef Pelagia launch 🚀

[ChainCare @ChainCareCo]

Question for Web3 ops leaders: What's the support metric you wish you tracked better?

[nader dabit @dabit3]

This is crazy. The hacker installed a dead-man's switch that will wipe your computer if you revoke the GitHub token they stole from you. Revoking the token is what triggers the wipe.

[Derek E. Silva @DerekSilva]

Good thread from our marketing team.

[ChainCare @ChainCareCo]

"Community management" and "support operations" sound similar, but they're completely different functions. Here's how to tell which one your protocol actually needs 🧵

[Derek E. Silva @DerekSilva]

@whakee_ Kind of. I wanted to try something different and old school, but I don't think this WordPress theme is quite the right fit.

[Derek E. Silva @DerekSilva]

After an ordeal due to a breached server, https://t.co/hNN5NKaUkx is back online. New blog posts coming forth, too.
