Hey, I'm Jamie Tanna (he/him/his) 👋
🎂 🎉 🎁 🎈 🎂 🎉 🎁 🎈
It's my birthday week! If you want to give back, you could support my work.

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 Open Source side projects are dependency-management-data and oapi-codegen, and the SAAS platform deps.fyi.
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.
You may also know me for being very public with sharing my salary history publicly.
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:
- Creating single-purpose RSS feeds with Hugo
- Creating a test harness for validating Renovate Custom Datasource configuration
- Go 1.24's omitzero is another one of the best additions to the ecosystem in years
- Go 1.24's go tool is one of the best additions to the ecosystem in years
- Getting access to rich-text data from the clipboard (on Linux)
I track articles and resources that I recommend I/others read as bookmarks on my site, the latest of which are:
- Ludic's Guide To Getting Software Engineering Jobs — Ludicity
- The Ideal Candidate Will Be Punched In the Stomach
- Open source maintainers are feeling the squeeze
- OpenAPI is hard
- I want you to do these four things right now
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 25#09.
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 6997 steps.
This is an autogenerated README, which is automagically deployed using GitHub Actions.
