I've been "self-teaching" (mostly via O'Reilly books) since 2007 and I have completely changed my career. I grow as a programmer more and more every day, mostly thanks to reading.
Sure, I've read books like "Learn You A Haskell" without putting much into practice. But I feel I am much better off reading about new ideas even if I can't make every day use of them.
