Sure, if you happen to be exposed to a wide variety of code as a result of your work, then probably you'll be fine.

But if all you do at work is line of business apps in VB6 for years on end, then I would recommend reading the source code for some games, database servers, your OS kernel, your favorite text editor, or something unrelated to your job. The point is to expand the scope of the projects that you're capable of undertaking.
