There's some truth to this.  But stagnation is also very easy to
achieve, without conscious effort to improve.

Also, reading OOP books (and this list) is still beneficial, both
before and after you've understood each concept: before because it
helps to learn new concepts at a faster rate, and to learn concepts
you'd otherwise miss; after because it helps "clean up" and extend
your understanding and because it teaches you standard names for
things, helping communication.
