Hi, I'm JamieTanna (he/him/his), and I'm currently a Senior Software Engineer at Elastic.
I currently live in Nottingham with my partner Anna Dodson and our cat Morph and our puppy Cookie.
I use my site as a method of blogging about my learnings, as well as sharing information about projects I have
previously, or are currently, working on in my spare time.
I'm a GNU/Linux user, a big advocate for the Free Software Movement, and the IndieWeb movement and I try to self host my own services where possible,
instead of relying on other providers.
I have ADHD (Inattentive Type) and am learning how to make my life work better around it.
Drop me an email at hi@jamietanna.co.uk, or

Anyone working for BigCorp and have 15-27k they wanna use to sponsor an event in two weeks, to make it as accessible as it has been in previous years?
To a sexy hunky luscious BigCorp like you, itâs a forgettable line item and you probably spent 10x more on useless crap this year.
Go on, give it to me.

All of the health anxiety of early internet adopters traced back to WebMDâs self diagnosis. Some sysadminâs on-call nightmares came from a different part of the site.

Want to take a vacation from open source maintenance? You should.
Did you know that GitHub has a profile status feature to mark yourself as busy, mute notifications, and prompt folks who mention you that you're busy for a while?
Before today the longest (optional) "automatically clear this status" preset was a week.
Now the longest preset is a month. Because let's face it, a week is not always a long enough break from the demands of other people.

Capitalism is an economic theory that posits that a relative handful of greedy fucks gorging themselves is how we provide adequate nutrition to the population at large.
I do wish I could tell recruiters that Iâll never apply to a company that reports record profits and also lays people off.
Like why are we wasting each others time talking about corporate mottos and exciting projects? Your leadership treats people like disposable cups. Thatâs all I need to know.

There is no war that can be fought with a trapped civilian population. That is not war. If you destroy all infrastructure, bomb the hospitals, ban all media, disrupt the food supply and corral the remaining population into a tiny area and then go after them. That is not war.
I know have separate Mastodon lists of bridged #BlueSky accounts I follow here (thanks @snarfed.org@snarfed.org), Flipboard accounts I follow here (thanks @mike@flipboard.social), federated WordPress blogs I follow here (thanks @matthias@pfefferle.org ), federated Podcast feeds I follow here (thanks @dave@podcastindex.social ) and Threads accounts I follow here (thanks @jessel@universeodon.com & @pcottle@cyberplace.social ) ... and that fact that we can do this at all, and now feels like the new normal, should be an Internet history milestone of some kind.

Yikes, bailing on the platform you funded because they are worried about safety is quite the stand.

Like many other technologists, I gave my time and expertise for free to #StackOverflow because the content was licensed CC-BY-SA - meaning that it was a public good. It brought me joy to help people figure out why their #ASR code wasn't working, or assist with a #CUDA bug.
Now that a deal has been struck with #OpenAI to scrape all the questions and answers in Stack Overflow, to train #GenerativeAI models, like #LLMs, without attribution to authors (as required under the CC-BY-SA license under which Stack Overflow content is licensed), to be sold back to us (the SA clause requires derivative works to be shared under the same license), I have issued a Data Deletion request to Stack Overflow to disassociate my username from my Stack Overflow username, and am closing my account, just like I did with Reddit, Inc.
https://policies.stackoverflow.co/data-request/
The data I helped create is going to be bundled in an #LLM and sold back to me.
In a single move, Stack Overflow has alienated its community - which is also its main source of competitive advantage, in exchange for token lucre.
Stack Exchange, Stack Overflow's former instantiation, used to fulfill a psychological contract - help others out when you can, for the expectation that others may in turn assist you in the future. Now it's not an exchange, it's #enshittification.
Programmers now join artists and copywriters, whose works have been snaffled up to create #GenAI solutions.
The silver lining I see is that once OpenAI creates LLMs that generate code - like Microsoft has done with Copilot on GitHub - where will they go to get help with the bugs that the generative AI models introduce, particularly, given the recent GitClear report, of the "downward pressure on code quality" caused by these tools?
While this is just one more example of #enshittification, it's also a salient lesson for #DevRel folks - if your community is your source of advantage, don't upset them.
I'm a "full stack developer", in that my stack is full and if you try to push any more tasks on me I'm gonna overflow it and start corrupting my own memory
Devs: We've finally got the thing that's definitely not a Torment Nexus you and running.
That's awesome! We're gonna make a ton of money from tormenting people. They keep asking for it for any reason.
Devs: Speaking of money, I think I deserve a raise.
Absolutely not? Did you even do any work? Also, this thing requires the power of a small country to do even a small amount of tormenting. It's costing us billions. We're gonna have to let you go.
Will you help us build the Torment Nexus?
Devs: What?! Absolutely not!
What if we paid you $1 million a year?
Devs: It's not about the money. My reputation is at stake!
You could tell people you had no choice.
Devs: I won't be responsible for building the Torment Nexus. It's evil!
Oh... well you know it won't look like a Torment Nexus until much later. Right now it's just a cool toy that makes up answers to silly questions.
Devs: Haha, this thing is cool. Wait, what were we talking about?

In this weekâs episode weâre talking about the news! In this laugh-filled episode, Kris is joined by Ian &amp; Johnny to discuss the future of Go, both the Go team itself and iterations of packages within the standard library; Microsoft creating a Go blog &amp; a Go fork; and SQLite and Go.
Very excited to announce that @lornajane and I are running a new @openuk Meetup that's digital-only, alongside the other great events being run by the #OpenUK organisation.
Our first event will be a tie-in with #GitHub's #MaintainerMonth and we'll be hearing from a number of excellent maintainers from a variety of projects - stay tuned for more details.
Looking forward to seeing some of y'all on May 22nd at 1200 noon (UK time) for an interesting webinar!
