README
Welcome to readme.jvt.me.
Hey, I’m Jamie Tanna (he/him/his) 👋
I’m currently between jobs, and I’m currently based in Nottingham.
I have a /now page, which aims to be a more up-to-date about page.
If you’re looking at how best to work with me, you may want to read my Manual of Me.
I use my personal website 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.
Right now, my two biggest Open Source side projects are dependency-management-data and oapi-codegen,
and the SAAS platform deps.fyi.
As well as them, I maintain a number of other Open Source projects, and primarily use GitLab for my source control, but also use GitHub for some things.
You may also know me for being very public with sharing my salary history publicly.
I write a fair bit on my blog:
- Using jqp for interactive queries with jq
- Determining the digest for a GitHub Action
- Setting up govulncheck in GitHub Actions with GitHub Code Scanning alerts
I blog as a form of documentation, as noted in my post Blogumentation - Writing Blog Posts as a Method of Documentation:
- Using jqp for interactive queries with jq
- Determining the digest for a GitHub Action
- Setting up govulncheck in GitHub Actions with GitHub Code Scanning alerts
- Gotcha: referencing symlinks with go:embed result in irregular file errors
- Additional lessons learned running Renovate at scale
I track articles and resources that I recommend I/others read as bookmarks on my site, the latest of which are:
- https://refactoringenglish.com/chapters/release-announcements/
- https://ohhelloana.blog/my-indieweb-journey/
- Why MCP’s Disregard for 40 Years of RPC Best Practices Will Burn Enterprises
- If you’re remote, ramble
- https://blog.yossarian.net/2025/06/11/github-actions-policies-dumb-bypass
I also write Week Notes as a way of summarising what’s going on in my life. The last one can be found at Week Notes 25#37.
I like to track my data in IndieWeb fashion. For instance, the last book I read was Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire by Chris Kempshall, and yesterday, I took 3549 steps.
This is an autogenerated README, which is automagically deployed using GitLab CI.
