In my experience a key characteristic of a good software engineer is their ability to handle dense, technical texts. We do it all the time, from academic papers (less often) to documentation (every other hour). Not liking to read (?!), and thinking it's a chore, because we're only humans, will mean you won't do it unless forced and will either lack a deep understanding of a subject or reach for someone else to do it for you (RTFM).
Not a fan of the often repeated, flawed [1], "we have different modes of learning" mantra that sometimes comes with these discussions too. That myth is so hard to debunk likely because of this very issue!
