I was a developer for about 5 years before I looked in a book for an answer on how to do something in a language I’d been using for years. Then I saw something else I didn’t know. And something else.
Ended up reading the whole thing and now, whenever I want to really learn a new topic or language I always go to a book for depth and understanding.
As a side effect, as I’ve gotten older I’ve found that history books are fascinating in the same way. Most people have very little understanding of the context around the history they know. It’s truly more interesting reading history than fiction in my opinion.
