Derek is proof that anyone can contribute to Nostr, he is a good Developer but a lot of his contributions come in informative and helpful posts and explanations as opposed to building.

Technical things on Nostr can be confusing even for someone who kinda understand tech, I feel like a have a decent grasp on most technical things and how they work but I'm always stuck not understanding what something is or does cause things change so fast in open source environments.

Derek is often how I learn about a lot of it cause he breaks it down simply and it's something I really appreciate.
