Love to see forks emerge when a company gets greedy and transitions to source-available after years of accepting third party contributions and establishing market share under an open source license.
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.
Drop me an email at hi@jamietanna.co.uk, or using any of the other social links below.

Hey, with people in the news getting sentenced to prison, facing the possibility of prison time, etc., just a reminder: it is not desirable, nor funny, that violence in prison (including sexual violence), be a part of someone's punishment. Even people you really, really do not like who have done really super bad things. It is to the United State's shame that violence in prison is part of our carceral system, and we should not celebrate it, ever. We should seek to eliminate it.

Today I got the pleasure to chat with Jerod Santo, the Managing Editor at Changelog Media. Picture this ā a podcast that not only uncovers the intricacies of Jerod's career but also shares some unconventional lessons learned from his work. From navigating the ever-evolving tech landscape to spearheading Changelog, Jerod brings a wealth of experience that transcends your typical engineer expectations and taps into the heart of what it means to build a sustainable developer community.
Script flipped! Today weāre sharing two interviews of us on Other Peopleās Podcasts (OPP): Kathrine Druckman from the Open at Intel podcast invited us on the show at KubeCon NA in November and Den Delimarsky hosted Jerod on The Work Item podcast in February.
Convex is a serverless backend platform to simplify fullstack application development. Its underlying database is written in Rust, and it uses TypeScript to integrate with reactive UI frameworks. The platform is growing, which has presented new reasons to make the code open source, and Convex recently released the source code for a self-managed version of

THE Cameron Seay joins us once again! This time we learn more about his life/history, hear all about the boot camps he runs, discuss recent advancements in AI / quantum computing and how they might affect the tech labor market & more!
I feel like subscriptions have generally made software quality worse. There was an argument that having to make paid upgrades to generate revenue to pay salaries put pressure on companies to change things that didnāt need changing, just to get that upgrade money, and subs reflected the holistic task of careful maintenance better. But in practice whatās often happened is the subscription props up bad decisions on product direction, because subs have to keep paying either way.
@noracodes@tenforward.social IMHO you should pay for open source if you are making a profit on it. Lots of companies are reselling proprietary software and are paying for licenses without having specific feature wishes for the software, they just pay for the maintenance.
"Vendor lock-in"? They wish. All these vendors are locked in here with ME.

Whatās the difference between productivity engineering and platform engineering? How can you continue to re-platform with a moving target? On this episode, weāre joined by Andy Glover, who spent ten years productivity engineering at Netflix, to discuss.
In a riveting episode of the Mechanical Ink podcast, host Schalk Neethling welcomed Matteo Collina, a luminary in the Node.js community whose work has amassed over 22 billion downloads on npm in 2023 for the various open source modules he maintains. This episode was not just a deep dive into the technical intricacies of Node.js but also an enlightening discourse on the security landscape, community engagement, and the future of back-end development with the introduction of Platformatic. Here's a closer look at the discussions that made this episode a must-listen for developers.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al My little lad had a bad leukaemia when he was 20 months - in 2002. He had care at Great Ormond St - I calculated at the time (Iām an accountant) at somewhere between Ā£250k and Ā£500k, entirely free to us. And he lived. The US families sometimes didnāt fare so well. After theyād drained all insurance & resources their kids often died of something entirely treatable. Folks need to think very hard before voting for either #Tories or #Labour. @nhsactivistrn
Source Available != Open Source That's not an opinion. If it's SSPL, BUSL, etc., it's categorically not "open source" according to the Open Source Definition.
Iāll let you in on a secret: I love sporadically updated weblogs. I subscribe to over 1200 feeds and most of them are sporadic or even technically āinactiveā. Months often pass between updates It means that every post published was important to the writer Back in the days of snail mail, letters that began with āItās been a while since I last wrote to youā were the ones people cherished the most You donāt need to post every day or even every week to have a blog that matters
$1 million budget: 90% test coverage, comprehensive DevOps pipeline, all work rooted in user research, delivery every two weeks, all code in an open repo. $300 million budget: No tests, no CI/CD, no user research, delivery on an annual cadence, code is a secret because it's a trash fire.

Remember folks. When VC is funding Corporation that releases a Open Source project its only a matter of time until they take it back. Their goal is to get their product embedded into your organization and abuse you for free work in the hopes they can eventually sell their corporation and cash out. Its always good for them, and rarely good for you.

Are you job hunting? Does this pic of search results look familiar? Have you ever seen a bunch of job postings like this from Canonical and thought āgee I should apply to one of theseā? Iām here to tell you: ITāS A TRAP! š§µ
Hot take: if I can say "they just tested positive" and you don't have to ask "for what?" then the pandemic isn't over.

Iāve been through close to a dozen reorgs. This article contains the advice I wish Iād been given earlier in my career when I didnāt yet have that experience. Reorgs are disruptive, and nobody really tells you what to do in the wake of one. Itās easy to feel adrift, scared for your future, and uncertain about how to behave. Some of that fear is warranted: your job security probably goes down in the months following a reorg. But confusion and chaos arenāt necessarily signs that the reorg will go poorly, and there are things you can do to help give you and your team a better chance of emerging successfully.
No #WeekNotes tonight as I'm celebrating my 30th birthday in Rome šš„šš·
If you wanted to do something nice to honour it, you could support my work on the Open Source projects I maintain as well as the content on my blog. But I'd also love to see y'all pay it forward to other creators or maintainers for the stuff you use, and work with your companies to pay to support the Open Source you so heavily rely on!
I'll be posting my Week Notes some time next week, when I get to relive the lovely ~10 days we've been having š„°
