I guess it also depends on the profession/field.

When you're a doctor, it's vital to learn the fundamentals of different areas of medicine.

Whereas as a developer, you can also just focus on one thing(let's say frontend development) and pick up other areas (backend, databases) on the go, based on your needs.
