It comes from Twitch [1]. While it often refers to streamers, it has transcended that. An andy is someone who is identified by whatever adjective is applied. So a Crypto Andy is someone who is all and only about crypto, basically.

Put another way: Andys are indistinguishable from each other apart from one defining characteristic. And those Andys with that characteristic are likewise indistinguishable and interchangeable.

I had to laugh at the article’s example of "React Andy", which I first gave a different interpretation.
