As a noun (as above), it means "executive summary."

As a statement by itself, it means:

    I am terribly sorry to have invited you to waste time in pointing me
    towards a resource that might allow me to grow my knowledge and skills
    in a direction that would enable me to solve the problem I initially
    groused about, and I would be better served paying a consulting to
    solve the problem for me so that I can instead grouse about how much
    they charged because I am an ungrateful excuse for a human who does not
    appreciate the cost of intellectual pursuit.

That is to say, the literal expansion is "too long; didn't read."
