# Andrew Nesbitt (nesbitt.io)

Andrew Nesbitt's personal blog at [nesbitt.io](https://nesbitt.io). Nesbitt maintains [Libraries.io](https://libraries.io) and the [ecosyste.ms](https://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.
