Hi, I'm Jamie Tanna (he/him/his), and I'm currently a Tech Lead (Software Development Engineer 3) at Capital One UK where I'm working on Third Party API engineering.
I currently live in Nottingham with my partner Anna Dodson and our beautiful terror of a cat Morph.
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.
Drop me an email at hi@jamietanna.co.uk, or using any of the other social links below.

Enhanced Shell Scripting with Ruby
I very much recommend learning how to use a more well-structured scripting language than Bash, as languages such as Ruby have a great standard library, a huge ecosystem of other libraries, and are commonly installed across machines - this is a great look at partially replacing shell scripts with Ruby

Slack really needs a feature where when someone posts (at)channel, it just shuts their PC down for a little while so they can think about what they've done
