About the book
Was drin ist · What's inside
- 12 scenes in 4 chapters: the daily stand-up and sprint planning, clarifying a ticket with the product owner, writing a friendly review comment, taking criticism on your own pull request, a red pipeline and the definition of done, explaining technical debt, an alert at three in the morning, a status update for customer service and customers, a blameless postmortem, working with an AI coding agent, explaining to management what AI can and cannot do, and an architecture decision record.
- Tap any sentence for its English. Anglicisms the way German teams use them, with their gender (der Pull Request, das Deployment).
- Switch between du and Sie in the documents: ticket, review comments, status update, postmortem, architecture decision.
- Core words as word cards with examples, collocations and job notes, plus an A–Z list of all glossed words. A quick check after every scene, interview practice and the Probefahrt.
- Interactive diagrams: sprint board, the path from commit to deployment, technical debt by risk and effort, the course of an incident, AI in the team.

Level B1–B2. Fiction: the company and the people are invented. Company rules for AI tools and the EU AI Act appear only at a general level: language material, not legal or security advice. Edition 1: the German was drafted with AI assistance and checked in several editing rounds; native-speaking software engineers are proofreading it, and corrected editions replace it.
How you learn with it
- Read the German. Texts from real office work in your profession, not textbook dialogues.
- The English comes straight after each sentence. No dictionary, no leaving the text, no lost context.
- After each text: the words and the grammar. No drills, no memorising. The more you read, the more the language settles.
