Hi, I'm Jamie Tanna 👋🏼
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.

It usually only takes 1 project for an open source maintainer to learn they need to set boundaries. Unfortunately, that 1 project often becomes load bearing infrastructure before we've even realized what's happened, putting everyone in quite a predicament. @www.jvt.me.web.brid.gy #opensource

The open source world was designed for a world where there was more friction for doing things. With LLMs a lot of that friction has been removed. Sometimes that means we have to ask a potential contributor "are you a human?". @www.jvt.me.web.brid.gy #opensource #tech #llms
