The Importance of Reading as a Software Engineer

I was really just trying to show the point without saying "reading books will make you smarter/successful", but more to say that you may find it harder to be successful if you don't read.

Logic tells us those two statements are equivalent.

p = "reading books"

q = "success"

p => q is equivalent to ~q => ~p

This is true but irrelevant.

It may well be that reading doesn't make you successful, but not-reading makes you not-successful.

It's like playing the lottery doesn't make you win, but not-playing makes you not-win.
