From switching ISPs to migrating Amazon off Oracle, Pete Naylor knows which database to use.
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.

I’m a software developer with a bunch of industry experience. I’m also a comp sci professor, and whenever a CS alum working in industry comes to talk to the students, I always like to ask, “What do you wish you’d taken more of in college?” Almost without exception, they answer, “Writing.” One of them said, “I do more writing at Google now than I did when I was in college.” I am therefore begging, begging you to listen to @stephstephking@mstdn.social: https://mstdn.social/@stephstephking/113336270193370876

I should add: If your employer doesn't increase your pay by at least 4% per year, the value of your pay is regressing, not keeping up with the average rate of inflation. If your employer is aware and does this anyway, that's a pretty clear message that you should seek one that values you. #jobs #employment #pay

A recap of this weekend's OggCamp 2024 conference.
This week, Parul Singh shares the story of how she won a legal case over an ex-employer for ADHD discrimination. Parul is a Recruitment Marketing Partner and Neurodiversity Advocate at xDesign, and an ex-tech recruiter. She was diagnosed with ADHD at aged 25 and uses her platform to awareness about neurodiversity in the workplace and in the recruitment process to build a more equitable future for neurodivergent people. In order to make a bigger impact, she created a new role at xDesign, "Neurodiversity Advocate” in which she works closely with the People Team to lead the internal neurodiversity community. We all know how important it is to feel less alone. She also feeds into internal policies, processes and supports other neurodivergent employees at xDesign. As a woman of colour, she also puts a spotlight on intersectionality within Neurodiversity and the compounding impact that being from multiple minority groups has on barriers we face” Topics: 00:00 What are your earliest ADHD memories 04:29 Unhealthy sources of dopamine 11:00 Misdiagnosed with depression + finally getting an ADHD diagnosis 18:47 Normalising ADHD in life + at work 22:38 How did you feel after your diagnosis? 28:52 Imposter syndrome 32:00 Winning a discrimination tribunal + Neurodiversity in business 38:13 What is disability discrimination?

The current chaos in Wordpress caused by Matt seems like a good time to remind folks that the Mastodon "community" websites and trademarks are 100% owned by one

wp shows that the world would be so much duller if successful people could just to go therapy and chill counting their stacks or something. smh what a clusterfuck. I don't like wordpress as a tech stack all that much, but... i really admire wordpress for how it democratizes access to self-hosting and allowed so many people and businesses to own their online presence. Sad to see it take such a hit, and hopefully it'll recover.

On the topic of joining a #union and the collective bargaining port we as workers should work towards at #OggCamp2024, I'd also recommend discussing your salary with your colleagues!
It doesn't have to be as public as my /salary page, but it's hugely useful to do and helps work out inequity

Really enjoyed #oggcamp2024. It's great that a conference based entirely around Open Source software and Freedom exists. Open source may have a reputation of being just for nerds, but it's about *so much more* than just tinkering with code. You don't need to be a coder to benefit. When things are open source any bad behaviour (i.e. tracking, telemetry, privacy violations) hiding in our software has nowhere to hide. This becomes more important as we become increasingly reliant on our devices.
