What a confusing website. The website is named 'defcon', like the famous defense conference. What does 'defcon' have to do with Q? What even is Q?

The landing page is uninformative. No explanation of what Q is. References ticks, doesn't mention what these are.

The About page is filled with generic words and no substance - so much fluff.

I couldn't tell if KDB-X is an exploit database for Defcon participants, or some other kind of specialized database, and at this point I'm so disappointed by this presentation that I lost interest in whatever this piece of software is or does.

Luckily someone else on HN figured it out and commented with a TLDR, but I'd use this site as an example of how not to design websites.

Both the defense conference and this are references to the military term DEFCON, that stands for "defense readiness condition". Q here is referring to the Q programming language that is built on top of KDB's K language.

The website is a blog and learning resource for the Q language.

Thanks. Looks like at least someone could follow my thought process

If your site requires people to explain your thought process, your presentation has failed, unless your goal is to confuse as many visitors as possible, in which case I wouldn't change a thing.

It’s a pretty terrible secondary source, BUT

The topic is clearly of interest to the community, and isn’t half the fun of HN learning about things other people are interested in, from the sources they deem acceptable? Why would you only want to read things that are immediately and totally legible to you, specifically?
