Ask HN: Do you still buy/read technical books?

If you decide to learn new skills (e.g python) or about a subject (e.g. ML) do you still rely on technical books for it?

I find myself looking more and more for alternative sources, but it could be just me, not finding a page of code written in a book all that useful.

Note: this is not about the quality of the content, but about the appropriateness of the medium nowadays.
