I have a slightly cynical take on why most programmers don’t read much: you can’t log “reading” into a time tracking system that has to add up to (at least) 40 hours a week.

You can log it under ‘working on project xxx’? Literally all my time regardless of what I do goes under there.

I guess it makes a difference for consultants, but they can log it under unbillable ‘administrative actions’ if the very necessary ‘continuous education’ does not exist.
