The about us statement clearly states that it's a place for developers to "Developers trust Stack Overflow to help solve coding problems..." and "...our products aim to enrich the lives of developers as they grow and mature in their careers."
Pretty clear that it's for professional programmers and not beginners. I agree that it is a bit frustrating to google something and have the SO question marked as a duplicate of another unanswered question. There are many places to learn the basics of programming and SO is not that place.

SO itself begs to differ: > Stack Overflow is for professional and enthusiast programmers, people who write code because they love it. So very clearly not only professionals. Also as lambda points out somewhere in this discussion you might be a seasoned pro in one language and a noob in another.
