Hi, I'm Jamie Tanna (he/him/his), and I'm currently a Senior Software Engineer at Elastic.

I currently live in Nottingham with my partner Anna Dodson and our cat Morph and our puppy Cookie.

I use my site as a method of blogging about my learnings, as well as sharing information about projects I have previously, or are currently, working on in my spare time.

I'm an maintainer for a number of Open Source projects, including oapi-codegen, and my most recent passion project, dependency-management-data (DMD).

I'm a GNU/Linux user, a big advocate for the Free Software Movement, and the IndieWeb movement and I try to self host my own services where possible, instead of relying on other providers.

I have ADHD (Inattentive Type) and am learning how to make my life work better around it.

Drop me an email at hi@jamietanna.co.uk, or using any of the other social links below.

My birthday is on the .

In every tech organization, there are some people that seem to know every system, everybody, and every problem. They're super helpful, and save coworkers months of wasted efforts, by short-circuiting dead end paths, sharing efficient workflows, knowing which services already exist, and generally having great technical judgement. *None of those skills are quantifiable on performance reviews, other than peers saying thanks (if they're lucky). *Many underrepresented engineers fill these roles.

The corporation behind #Redis is now starting to chase #OpenSource client libraries claiming trademark violations https://github.com/redis-rs/redis-rs/issues/1419 and are attempting to have the projects transferred to them. If it wasn't obvious before, now is a good time to fuck the hell off from that software. Just use #Valkey or one of the other alternatives.

Brey, I can't explain it any simpler than this: Planet is on fire, we know billions of ppl are going to die, we know it's capitalism and the fossil fuels it depends on that's doing this. And what are your leaders doing? What is your state spending money on? Solving this problem? Absolutely not. They're arming themselves to the teeth, militarizing security forces, criminalizing protest, hardening borders, increasing the size of their armies. You have to be a dipshit not to see what time it is.

Ask more questions that you already know the answer to If you don’t know the answer, you’re going to spend all your energy learning the information But if you already know the answer you can listen to how they answer it, and what they’re really saying, which is often more useful than the answer
