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.

Drop me an email at hi@jamietanna.co.uk, or using any of the other social links below.

My birthday is on the .

Listened to Fallthrough | What's New In Go 1.24?
Post details
Go's steady cycle of releasing new versions every six months continues. On this episode, our "What's new in Go?" correspondent (a carry over from Go Time) joins special guest host Johnny Boursiquot to talk about the new features and changes coming in Go 1.24. As always, we've got some great...

 Note

Very exited to see that my talk, "I inherited this project, and all I got was all these angry users" from #StateOfOpenCon is now live - thanks for the super speedy publishing, OpenUK!

I was honoured to kick off the Open Source Software & Security Track with a keynote about my experiences being an Open Source maintainer, and digging into the factors that make maintaining oapi-codegen difficult, and on top of that my own personal experiences which lead to difficulties in maintaining Open Source, especially when it's used actively by companies.

There were some great discussions about the maintainer burnout problem over the conference, and I had some great chats with folks in the "hallway track".

I'll be finishing my write-up of the conference in the next week (🤞🏼) but am very excited to see the talks are already up on YouTube, so I can catch up on talks I missed, too
