Hi, I'm Jamie Tanna đđŒ
If you're referring to me, I'm happy being called Jamie, Jamie Tanna, jamietanna, and that you
respect my pronouns:
he/him/his.
I'm currently the Renovate project lead at Mend.
I currently live in Nottingham with my partner Anna Dodson and our cat Morph and our dog Cookie.
I use my site 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'm an maintainer for a number of Open Source projects, including oapi-codegen, and Renovate, as part of my job at Mend.
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.
Due to the many social media platforms and different ways to connect, I've captured all my contact information on my /elsewhere page. Alternatively, you can drop me an email at hi@jamietanna.co.uk.
I also have a /now page which aims to cover some more up-to-date "what I'm up to" information.

How many hours did you spend on social media today? Have you sent an AI note-taker to a meeting instead of attending? According to Armon Dadgar, co-founder and CTO of HashiCorp, the answers to these questions and how people approach technology -- especially social media and AI -- will determine whether we face dystopia or a healthy society. In this candid conversation, Dadgar shares his concerns about the risks of AI, including overreliance on convenience and the importance of having clear intentions with technical tools rather than following the latest buzzwords. Featuring: Armon Dadgar, co-founder and CTO, HashiCorp In todayâs episode, weâll cover⊠The "Wall-E economy": Is social media the new cigarettes? The pitfalls of "frictionless addiction" in business Similarities between cloud and AI adoption trends Dadgar's best-case scenario for the future of tech And more!

Josh welcomes Mo Duffy from Red Hat to chat about project Lightwell. The idea is to leverage the resources and understanding Red Hat has built up over the years to help deal with the deluge of vulnerability reports that are overwhelming open source projects. Mo does a really good job of explaining why this is fundamentally a people problem, not a technology problem. But it's a people problem we can probably use technology to help. It will be interesting to see where Lightwell goes in the next few years. The show notes and blog post for this episode can be found at https://opensourcesecurity.io/2026/2026-07-lightwell-mo-duffy
