alt Hacker NewsI love learning, but I hate reading. Most of my learning now is via audio books while I'm doing something else.
In my view, software development is mostly skimming and pattern recognization. Very little actual, deep reeding in my opinion.

Correction: you love the feeling of consuming information, not learning.

Can I ask why you hate reading? Is this a general statement or is it about the quality of programming-related reading in particular?

You're not actually learning anything then. Memorizing trivia, sure. But not actually learning.
