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.
Every quickie ships as paperback and eBook through Chameleon Books, our imprint for non-fiction in trade-book format. Distribution runs through the usual channels — Amazon, Thalia, Hugendubel, orderable from any bookshop by ISBN.
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.
Three authors
Anouk Schierl writes on DevSecOps, EU sovereignty, and identity architecture. She works as a security engineer in Munich.
Jonas Veit writes on CI/CD tooling, build pipelines, and container-image hygiene. He works as a DevOps engineer in Hamburg.
Mira Halbach writes on open-source adoption, wrapper discipline, and platform architecture. She works as a platform engineer in Berlin.
Three voices, three clearly delimited topic areas. That keeps the profiles narrow — and the recommendations credible, because each author writes about what they actually have practice in.
