Happy 60k FB Followers mga Ka-Bit! 🧡 60,000 strong and still growing. Maraming salamat sa lahat ng sumusuporta, natututo, nagtatanong, at patuloy na sumasabay sa journey ng Bitskwela. From blockchain basics to real conversations about Web3, finance, and technology, thank you for growing with us every step of the way. 🤝 Link to our FB page: facebook.com/bitskwela #BItskwela

a lot of press releases about blockchain in Philippine government but not a lot of government employees who can write single line of smart contract. We spent Q1 2026 fixing that 👇🏼 open.substack.com/pub/koleen…

IN PHOTOS: Wrapping up Day 5 of the Solidity Bootcamp 🇵🇭 🚀 Bitskwela concludes its intensive Solidity bootcamp with the Department of Information and Communications Technology - DICT, working alongside government staff and officials on practical blockchain and smart contract development. As the program comes to a close, participants move from guided learning into a clearer understanding of how these systems can be applied within real workflows and public sector environments. From fundamentals to hands-on execution, the focus has been on building capability that can be applied to actual systems, processes, and use cases. With Bitskwela’s Blockchain Learning Software integrated throughout the program, the learning experience remains structured, practical, and aligned with real development processes. This is not just about understanding blockchain. It’s about preparing institutions to build with it. Thank you to DICT for the trust 🤝

Experimenting with Claude vision. Might be late to the trend but I'm fascinated! ⚡️

IN PHOTOS: Building momentum on Day 2 & 3 of the Solidity Bootcamp 🇵🇭🚀 Bitskwela continues its intensive Solidity bootcamp with the @DICTgovph, working closely with government staff and officials on blockchain and smart contract development. As the sessions progress, the focus shifts deeper into hands-on work. From understanding core concepts to actually applying them, participants are now engaging with how these systems can function in real-world scenarios. This is where learning starts to translate into capability. With Bitskwela’s Blockchain Learning Software integrated into the curriculum, the program remains structured, practical, and aligned with how development is actually done. This is not just about understanding blockchain. It’s about building the confidence and skills to start using it.

IN PHOTOS: Laying the foundations for a blockchain-ready Philippines 🇵🇭 Bitskwela is currently leading an intensive Solidity bootcamp with @DICTgovph , working with government staff and officials on practical blockchain and smart contract development. This goes beyond introducing concepts. The focus is on building real capability within the public sector, where these technologies can actually be applied to systems, workflows, and decision-making. As part of the program, Bitskwela’s Blockchain Learning Software is integrated into the curriculum to support a more structured and hands-on learning experience. This is not just about understanding blockchain. It’s about getting institutions ready to build with it.

Sure! The Braille translates to: Use the weekend to build the life you want instead of trying to escape the life you have.

Prompt engineering is dead. Anthropic recently released the real playbook for building AI agents that actually work. It’s a 30 page deep dive called The Complete Guide to Building Skills for Claude and it quietly shifts the conversation from “prompt engineering” to real execution design. Here’s the big idea: A Skill isn’t just a prompt. It’s a structured system. You package instructions inside a SKILL .md file, optionally add scripts, references, and assets, and teach Claude a repeatable workflow once instead of re-explaining it every chat. But the real unlock is something they call progressive disclosure. Instead of dumping everything into context: • A lightweight YAML frontmatter tells Claude when to use the skill • Full instructions load only when relevant • Extra files are accessed only if needed Less context bloat. More precision. They also introduce a powerful analogy: MCP gives Claude the kitchen. Skills give it the recipe. Without skills: users connect tools and don’t know what to do next. With skills: workflows trigger automatically, best practices are embedded, API calls become consistent. They outline 3 major patterns: 1) Document & asset creation 2) Workflow automation 3) MCP enhancement And they emphasize something most builders ignore: testing. Trigger accuracy. Tool call efficiency. Failure rate. Token usage. This isn’t about clever wording. It’s about designing an execution layer on top of LLMs. Skills work across Claude, Claude Code, and the API. Build once, deploy everywhere. The era of “just write a better prompt” is ending. Anthropic just handed everyone a blueprint for turning chat into infrastructure.

We recently conducted the Bitskwela–DICT Blockchain Readiness Program. 🚀 Over two days, DICT personnel explored computational thinking, rule-based system design, and policy-to-logic translation as preparation for smart contract development. Because smart contracts are not just code. They are policies that execute exactly as written. Proud to contribute to strengthening institutional capability for responsible blockchain adoption in the Philippines.

Hot take: AI is pushing SWEs up the stack. Writing code is becoming table stakes. Direction, product judgment, and system design are the real leverage. Engineers who don’t evolve will get stuck reviewing PRs from bots. 🐳⚡️

Only a year ago people would argue between using TypeScript vs Python vs Rust vs Go. Today everyone I know is just coding in English and markdown.

There's an ongoing debate in the PH about the recent statement of the ICT secretary about blockchain being 101% free from hacks. Here's my thoughts:
