Default Growing Tomatoes

I'm new to planting tomatoes. Someone recommended pinching off the first
yellow flowers when they appear to create more fruit. Has anyone done this
before and is this true to cucumbers as well?

The only time you pinch off flowers is if you just bought plants from a store
and they have grown flowers in the pot. In other words, leave the flowers
alone--the plants know what they are doing.
