The N+1 issue is one that everyone ends up learning and understanding on the job fairly quickly. It doesn't require anything abstract to understand- "You're constantly hitting it over and over instead of doing things in one or two passes." Modern programming generally has you approaching any obscure issues like this the same way: You profile your code, figure out where something is going horribly wrong, then try to look up answers for why. If I noticed that my string concatenation was taking an inordinate amount of time, it'd probably take me under 5 minutes to figure out why via Google alone. Hell, I'd significantly wonder what someone was doing if they were concatenating strings enough to cause performance issues. I can't imagine any business need, for anyone, that could be brought together by that.
