Andrew Nesbitt's personal blog at nesbitt.io. Nesbitt maintains Libraries.io and the ecosyste.ms open-source observability toolset, and his writing reflects that — he's most interesting when he's looking at the structural layer of open-source: what git actually tracks, what a package registry exposes, what supply-chain data is legible from outside.
Style: short-to-medium posts, sourced and annotated, UK English. The technical level assumes familiarity with the topic but doesn't play insider; each post reads as a standalone piece of analysis rather than a running newsletter thread.
