I think I've read fewer than 5 programming books in 30 years. For the most part, I don't read about programming. For certain specific problems, I'll read articles or watch talks by people in my field who I respect a lot. Mostly, I just write a lot of code, observe what I don't like aesthetically, and think about how to make it better.
