Hey, I'm Jamie Tanna (he/him/his) 👋

I'm currently a Senior Developer and Open Source project maintainer at Mend, 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 primary side project - aside from my blog - is oapi-codegen.

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 Ledger, plain text accounting and a touch of AI to fill in my UK tax return
• What I've learned building an agent for Renovate config (as a cautious skeptic of AI)
• The first 100 days as a Renovate maintainer: the shocking inside view of a popular Open Source project

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

• Using Ledger, plain text accounting and a touch of AI to fill in my UK tax return
• Authoring Markdown externally and pasting the 'pretty' output into Slack (on Mac)
• Getting access to rich-text data from the clipboard (on Mac)
• Creating a TUI for keeping an eye on GitHub Rate Limits
• Finding missing releaseTimestamps in Renovate

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

• We should all be using dependency cooldowns
• Actions pull_request_target and environment branch protections changes - GitHub Changelog
• Supply chain attacks are exploiting our assumptions
• https://www.anildash.com/2025/10/17/the-majority-ai-view/
• It's insulting to read your AI-generated blog post

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 26#05.

I like to track my data in IndieWeb fashion. For instance, the last book I read was Nemesis Games by James S. A. Corey, and yesterday, I took 4991 steps.

This is an autogenerated README, which is automagically deployed using GitHub Actions.
