As a developer, I want to think about code. If I have the choice of learning something new, or digging into a new skillset it is going to be about code- not project management. The last thing I feel like doing is sitting in a conference of non-technical people talking about how some new funny words they made up in project management will fix everything. Scrum masters, vendors, etc... it all just doesn't really engage me any more than talking about concurrency gets a project manager going. This isn't to say that I don't think PM isn't important, but just that it really isn't a terribly interesting problem. I haven't seen (personally) that many scenarios where some new trick from a PM book, class, conference has actually made the difference in a project coming in on time/budget. I personally like a lot of Agile stuff, but I don't strictly adhere to any specific one, nor do I want to in a small team. I just want to produce good code.
