A professional software engineer should be regularly reading to keep up with their craft. It's a balance, and one that I've generally noticed is tipped away from focused reading/learning because the modern Stack Overflow-driven world nudges people to "just do it." Telling people "you should read a lot of books" shouldn't be necessary, but nowadays it is.
