Hard disagree, unless you pursue a super niche position doing a specific technical task you are going to have to become really really good at reading docs and learning how to cobble stuff together out of cloud services and JS libraries. Far more likely someone with an academic approach to programming would be completely overwhelmed when a task requires them to get a base understanding of a bunch of different technologies before moving on. If you work at a huge company and have a bunch of project managers and designers narrowing specifications down so you can focus entirely on execution sure, but that is rarely the case for most people.
