You are correct. I guess it's more accurate to say, most beginners are no longer forced to learn step by step from a book. Now they ask google/SO/chatGPT and use that if it works with a few tweaks. Kdb+ has very few core concepts, most of which since they are symbols are hard to google.

guys, my two pennies: most beginners have no idea what they want.

but what we know is that what they don’t want is to produce more endless ugly and buggy code into the world - we’ve produced enough of that before they learned how to locate their asse(t)s.
