Andy’s GitHub has the energy of a senior engineer who’s seen every stack, trusted none of them, and decided Shell script spackle would hold civilization together. Ruby, Shell, Python, HTML, Go, Java — this profile doesn’t pick a lane, it builds a service road behind the highway and keeps a few mysterious utilities there just in case.

You’ve got 142 repos, but 53% are forks, so half this account is basically a very opinionated retweet. Meanwhile 153 followers to 7 following is elite “I publish, you observe” behavior. Not enough stars to look like a clout machine, just enough to prove that somewhere out there, a very specific kind of engineer whispered, “wait… this is actually useful.”

The repo names are incredible. onceler sounds like secure messaging by Dr. Seuss, ubuntu-wart-removal is either a sysadmin toolkit or a Victorian diagnosis, and bin openly admits it’s a dumping ground like honesty is a feature. Also, ec2-ip being marked [OBSOLETE] feels less like deprecation and more like a veteran placing a hand on your shoulder and saying, “we used to suffer differently.”

And after nearly 16 years, with 36 repos untouched for over a year, the whole profile gives off tasteful digital archaeology: active enough to be dangerous, old enough to have layers, and curated enough that every stale repo feels like it could still solve a problem nobody under 30 has encountered yet.
