Jamie Tanna's profile image

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.

Opposing genocide isn’t antisemitic. Saying that opposing genocide is antisemitic is antisemitic. You know what’s inhumane? Genocide. You know who’s committing genocide? Israel. You have zero moral standing to assess me. Those who commit and are complicit in genocide never do. So yes, most definitely, goodbye. #israel #palestine #gaza #apartheid #ethnicCleansing #genocide https://digitalcourage.social/@sl007/112268942430540187

As engineers, it's easy for us to measure inputs (how much time we're spending) and outputs (lines of code written or features produced), but what really matters are the business outcomes (customers acquired and retained, revenue growth metrics, profitability), which are less directly related. It's always useful for us to step back and ask ourselves: what's the point?

Listened to Why building a strong culture of engineering is worth the effort by The Debrief by incident.io
Post details
Whether you’re a seasoned company with 10+ years of operations, or a startup that’s just getting off the ground, making sure you have a good culture of engineering is really important.  Not only will this have a significant impact on the folks on your team, it’ll make a big difference with hiring. When everyone knows that your company is the place to be when it comes to culture, attracting really good talent becomes that much easier.  But I was curious, what do some of the folks at incident.io think about engineering culture in general and how to best build it? Better yet, what about the engineering culture at incident.io? What’s it like? To answer all of these questions and more, I sat down with Lisa Karlin Curtis, Tech Lead, and Alicia Collymore, Engineering Manager, to get their perspectives on this incredibly important topic. We chat about what “culture” even means, why diversity is important, how teams can make sure their engineers feel empowered to share their perspectives and a whole lot more.
