Just looking at the provided numbers it feels marginal, how is it much better?
Biggest increase is like ~12 % on one of the benchmarks. Other benchmarks don't show any significant changes

Me, the dev: "Nobody reported this as a problem… Ok, don't care, moving on." Also, if I can't reproduce it, I can't fix it, no point in wasting time more than that.

Speaking personal experience hence extremely biased.

Books ain't worth shit by them selves. There is no better resource than experience. I learned programming and other stuff just by trying and the googling and reading up on the problem.

Books are only as good as they are searchable and can be used as a reasource to solve problems (and I'm not talking about literature in general, I love reading, just not profession related stuff).

TL; DR
I strongly disagree. Nothing tops just tinkering and figuring things out practically. My whole career is based on my ability to learn and solve IT problems and google is still the best tool for that.
