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#47
• You can now use Open Policy Agent with dependency-management-data
• Week Notes 23#46

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

• Getting Go modules to work with nested GitLab groups
• Performing a v2 release of a Go module
• Building resilient, runnable command-line demos with Asciinema and demo
• Importing a subdirectory from one repo into another
• How we reduced oapi-codegen’s dependency overhead by ~84%

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

• CSS { In Real Life } | What to Blog About When You Don’t Know What to Blog About
• Building a digital vigil for those we’ve lost | nicole@web
• The Lack of Compensation in Open Source Software is Unsustainable
• Please Don’t Ask if an Open Source Project is Dead
• Bot comparison - Renovate Docs

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#47.

I like to track my data in IndieWeb fashion. For instance, the last book I read was The High Lord (The Black Magician Trilogy, Book 3) by Trudi Canavan, and yesterday, I took 5363 steps.

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