This is so overblown. We bring in folks regularly with no experience in our language much less the ecosystem and invariably they’re totally productive in a month or so

Sure, if you work at it full time you could be up to speed in a month, say 200 hours of work. That’s more than a casual investment of time if it’s on top of a full time job as well.
And if you go away from it and come back in 6 months or a year you’ll have to do it over again, some stuff you’ll forget if you don’t use and some stuff will have moved on.
