Jamie Tanna's profile image

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.

My birthday is on the .

My favourite thing I heard second hand was "we don't have any incidents caused by AI, because we don't count them as AI - if a human vibe coded a PR, that's on them" which I partially agree with but also enjoy you can avoid blaming an AI mandate if you don't measure it 🙃

Listened to Can You Trust Code Written Without AI? Agents, Security, and Software Careers in 2026 by Overcommitted | Software Engineering and Programming Insights
Post details
Can you trust software written without AI? We examine the risks of manual coding versus automated vulnerability exploits.At Rails World 2026, a show of hands revealed that writing material amounts of code by hand is becoming a rarity. We discuss whether that human-written code is actually safer, especially after reviewing the eMudhra certificate authority compromise where private keys were recovered in under a second. Between open-weight models demonstrating Mythos-class exploit skills and the ongoing debate over AI consciousness, the security landscape has shifted significantly.This conversation is for engineers navigating the reality of AI mandates at work and the impact of agents that continue running after you log off. We also cover the practical side of professional development, from Bethany building a holiday gift-list app to Brittany replacing cloud subscriptions with local transcription tools. By analyzing these technical shifts, we aim to help you maintain a grounded perspective on your career trajectory.Subscribe for weekly software engineering breakdowns, and comment on which professional challenge you want us to tackle next.HostsOvercommitted: https://overcommitted.devBethany Janos: https://www.trustyduck.devBrittany Ellich: https://brittanyellich.com
