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.
I maintain a number of 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:
- Week Notes 24#10
- What routes is my http.ServeMux listening for?
- Why is Go 1.22's enhanced routing not working for me?
I blog as a form of documentation, as noted in my post Blogumentation - Writing Blog Posts as a Method of Documentation:
- What routes is my http.ServeMux listening for?
- Why is Go 1.22's enhanced routing not working for me?
- Gotcha: Don't try and authenticate to URLs generated by GitHub Actions Artifacts v4
- Why am I getting Too many arguments with vault?
- Comparing the different Merge Request / Pull Request merge methods in GitLab and GitHub
I track articles and resources that I recommend I/others read as bookmarks on my site, the latest of which are:
- So you've been reorg'd... - Jacob Kaplan-Moss
- Our Company Is Doing So Well That You’re All Fired
- Paying people to work on open source is good actually - Jacob Kaplan-Moss
- How I write HTTP services in Go after 13 years | Grafana Labs
- (Almost) Every infrastructure decision I endorse or regret after 4 years running infrastructure at a startup
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#10.
I like to track my data in IndieWeb fashion. For instance, the last book I read was Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and Samuel Moore and Franck Meyer and Pavel Filonov and Laura Lafargue and Pompeo Bettini and Cogito Edizioni and Aldrin Alexander Evies and Núria Mirabet Cucala and Friedrich Engels and Juanmari Madariaga and Cristina Piña Aldao and David Harvey and Jodi Dean and Lara Cortés Fernández, and yesterday, I took 14689 steps.
This is an autogenerated README, which is automagically deployed using GitLab CI.
