README

Welcome to readme.jvt.me.

Hey, I’m Jamie Tanna (he/him/his) 👋

I’m currently a Senior Software Engineer at Elastic, and I’m currently based in Nottingham.

I have a /now page, which aims to be a more up-to-date about page.

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.

I maintain a number of Open Source projects, and primarily use GitLab for my source control, but also use GitHub for some things.

I write a fair bit on my blog:

• Week Notes 23#38
• Gotchas with pointing Go modules to a fork, when building an installable module
• Week Notes 23#37

I blog as a form of documentation, as noted in my post Blogumentation - Writing Blog Posts as a Method of Documentation:

• Gotchas with pointing Go modules to a fork, when building an installable module
• Building dynamic jobs with BuildKite
• Setting up a matrix for GitHub Actions with Go’s go.mod and specific versions
• Prefer using the GitHub Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) API over the Dependency Graph GraphQL API
• Setting up your Maven settings.xml to release a Jenkins plugin

I track articles and resources that I recommend I/others read as bookmarks on my site, the latest of which are:

• https://blog.yossarian.net/2023/09/22/GitHub-Actions-could-be-so-much-better
• The Price of the Hallway Track
• Diátaxis
• Revitalizing stalled open source projects - Kurt McKee
• “We’re All Just Temporarily Abled”

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 23#38.

I like to track my data in IndieWeb fashion. For instance, the last book I read was Working in Public : The Making and Maintenance of Open Source Software by Nadia Eghbal, and yesterday, I took 4534 steps.

This is an autogenerated README, which is automagically deployed using GitLab CI.
