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) and the SAAS platform behind it, deps.fyi.

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.

My birthday is on the .

Fuck Google Forms' "autosave" functionality for replacing ~20 minutes of writing effort with "a newer version" of the data, which was in fact, a very old version from another tab 😡

A couple of weeks ago I was at the Manchester Gophers, giving them a sneak peek of my tutorial I'm doing on Friday at #GopherConUK, and I had a blast - was a great time with some great people, and always a fan of sharing more about #DependencyManagementData

Their post has some other great photos, but I think if you really want a convince to go and speak - if the great people isn't enough - you also get an amazing speaker gift - a custom made Gopher!

A "Funko Pop" style collectible, custom made by the Manchester Gophers organisers for Jamie Tanna. It's marked as "05", as the 5th (or is it 0-indexed and therefore 6th?) speaker. It's marked for Jamie Tanna (me!) for speaking in July 2025. Most importantly, it's an "Apex Gopher", with Go's Gopher mascot being positioned in the game of Apex Legends, which I play a lot, and is styled as the legend Caustic, with a little gas canister, and the R301, my favourite weapon. Organisers of the Manchester spent a tonne of time reading through years of Week Notes to perfect the gift, which is hugely awesome, inventive and super cool. It sits atop my desk in this photo, but it's usually in my office background.

Big thanks to @www.jvt.me for running the "What story does your dependency tree tell you about your org?" Great tooling on how to manage dependencies and surface up actionable data using dmd! You can catch this workshop at GopherconUK if you are attending!
