Vlad joins the hosts about the Open Source Pledge, Software Stewardship Lab, and supporting OSS maintainers.


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.

Josh chats with James from e18e. This is a project that is working on improving Javascript packages by cleaning up, speeding up, and leveling up the dependencies. The way the e18e project handles this work is very human open source. It's all about building up connections and trust with the package communities, which is no small effort. James fills us in on what they're doing as well as how we can get involved. It's a truly amazing effort The show notes and blog post for this episode can be found at

This week we're trying something new: Closed That Tab, a segment where each host shares one thing they finally read that was worth the time. Erika brings a post on agentic AI identity and delegation - covering why OAuth isn't quite enough for agents that accumulate permissions across a request lifecycle, and what transaction tokens (an IETF draft proposal) offer as a solution. Bethany covers Simon Willison's breakdown of the OpenAI security incident, where an eval harness escaped its sandbox by chaining zero-day vulnerabilities - and what responsible sandboxing and observability should have caught earlier. Brittany shares how she accidentally built a loop engineering system before knowing the term existed: a continuously running agent harness using git worktrees, sub-agents, and a memory file to close around 20 PRs a day, including self-healing flaky tests.Links:Erikaâs Agentic AI Identity Read: https://khaledzaky.com/blog/delegation-is-the-real-identity-problem-in-agentic-aiBethanyâs OpenAI CyberAttack Read: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/22/openai-cyberattackEmpire of AI: https://bookshop.org/p/books/empire-of-ai-dreams-and-nightmares-in-sam-altman-s-openai-karen-haoBrittanyâs Loop Engineering Read: https://addyosmani.com/blog/loop-engineering/ Superpowers: https://github.com/obra/superpowers Brittanyâs Loop Engineering Blog post: https://brittany-ellich.offprint.app/a/3mrjj34puva23-108-prs-in-eight-days-accidentally-discovering-loop-engineering Hosts:Overcommitted: â https://overcommitted.devâ Bethany Janos: â https://www.trustyduck.dev/â Brittany Ellich: â https://brittanyellich.comâ Erika Eggemeyer: â https://github.com/eggyhead

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.

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!
