Hey, I'm Jamie Tanna (he/him/his) 👋
I'm currently a Senior Software Engineer at Elastic, and I'm currently based in Nottingham.
I have a /now page, which aims to be a more up-to-date about page.
I use my personal website as a method of blogging about my learnings, as well as sharing information about projects I have previously, or am currently, working on in my spare time.
Right now, my two biggest side projects are dependency-management-data and oapi-codegen
.
As well as them, I maintain a number of other Open Source projects, and primarily use GitLab for my source control, but also use GitHub for some things.
I write a fair bit on my blog:
I blog as a form of documentation, as noted in my post Blogumentation - Writing Blog Posts as a Method of Documentation:
- My workflow for writing SQL(ite) queries (2024 edition)
- Calculating the GitHub API's sha representation of a local file
- Making it easier to schedule cross-timezones, with the tz CLI
- Installing Google Cloud CLI components on Arch Linux
- Lessons learned self-hosting Renovate
I track articles and resources that I recommend I/others read as bookmarks on my site, the latest of which are:
- Tech Works: How Can I Make Myself More Productive?
- Why, after 8 years, I still like GraphQL sometimes in the right context
- Why, after 6 years, I’m over GraphQL
- https://thenewstack.io/the-xz-hack-reveals-a-looming-8-8-trillion-infrastructure-disaster-hidden-in-plain-sight/
- What does it mean to be a tech worker?
I also write Week Notes as a way of summarising what's going on in my life. The last one can be found at Week Notes 24#23.
I like to track my data in IndieWeb fashion. For instance, the last book I read was From Project to Profit by Heather Meeker, and yesterday, I took 6719 steps.
This is an autogenerated README, which is automagically deployed using GitHub Actions.
