This actually isn't bad advice - if you ignore the school system. For a self-taught adult, this is entirely relevant - you don't need all the ingredients for a beef stew if you're making hamburgers. That being said, I and many other students are taught 50 different languages because of our curriculum. We're taught little projects to teach us concepts with a big one at the end as a final essay of sorts, and then it's on to next year's class. In highschool, this usually means block based coding and Android development, but some colleges have you take database and web design classes no matter what you want to code - it's the only thing to give you the credits to graduate.
