README

Welcome to readme.jvt.me.

Hey, I’m Jamie Tanna (he/him/his) 👋

I’m currently a Senior Software Engineer at Deliveroo, 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:

• Lessons learned since posting my salary history publicly
• Week Notes 22#37
• Week Notes 22#36

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

• Gotcha: testable examples in Go need an output comment
• Converting HTTP requests to Wiremock stubs, with Go
• Using generics to get a pointer to any type, in Go
• Optional configuration for configuring Go code
• Building a Go RESTful API with design-first OpenAPI contracts

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

• An incomplete list of skills senior engineers need, beyond coding
• Entitlement in Open Source
• Take Care of Your Blog
• Your attention span is being robbed!
• Operational convergence, for REPL-less languages like Go — brandur.org

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 22#37.

I like to track my data in IndieWeb fashion. For instance, the last book I read was The Sins of Our Fathers by James S. A. Corey, and yesterday, I took 10765 steps.

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