From personal experience, yes, it is. People spend years getting really good at Java, or Ruby, or SQL, or whatever. You'll get better quicker at all of those if you start with a solid grounding in basic coding principles, but basic principles alone are not enough.
Maybe you're one of those 10x programmers I keep hearing about who can master any subfield instantly. That's lovely for you. Most of us do better with a bit of specialization, especially at the beginning of our careers.
