This "I'm so busy hustling I don't have time to read no books" sort of machismo has become quite fashionable.

I believe it's a mistake because there's a balance.

No, you don't want to become the ineffectual intellectual, constantly learning but never doing. It definitely is easy to see books and learning as progress when you should to be out on the sharp end.

But there are techniques you might use and mistakes you might not make if you invest into learning about and from written material. It seems like a celebration of ignorance to act otherwise.
