Format
An IT-Quickie is a short non-fiction book: 60-100 pages, sweet spot between 70 and 90. Readable in 90-120 minutes. Every book ends with a cheatsheet that keeps speaking back to you from the wall long after you've finished reading.
We publish as paperback and eBook through epubli in Berlin. Distribution runs through the usual bookshop channels — Amazon, Thalia, Hugendubel, bookshop-orderable.
One article and one book per topic
For every quickie, you'll find a hands-on article on this site — about 8 to 12 minutes of reading. That article carries honest value, not a teaser. If you want more afterwards — the full method with several worked examples, the cheatsheet to pin up, the walked-through ADR — that's in the corresponding quickie.
What we are not
Not a blog. We don't publish weekly posts driven by tactical relevance. A method matures over several months until it's solid, and then stays useful for at least five years.
Not tutorials. We don't walk you through tools step by step. We give you the method for picking the right tool — regardless of what's hot next year.
No advertising-funded model, no tracker setup. This site collects no behavioural data and sells nothing except the quickies themselves. The full tracking statement lives at Privacy.
The three author voices
Mira Halbach writes about open-source adoption, wrapper discipline, and platform architecture. She works as a platform engineer in Berlin.
Jonas Veit writes about CI/CD tooling, build pipelines, and container-image hygiene. He works as a DevOps engineer in Hamburg.
Anouk Schierl writes about DevSecOps, EU sovereignty, and identity architecture. She works as a security engineer in Munich.
Three voices, three clear topic lanes — that keeps the profiles narrow and the recommendations credible.
