I initially thought this comment wasn’t very helpful, since, like, the guy already knows he needs to build things. Then I went to try to write a better comment… and found it drifting in a kind of meta-direction that seemed maybe anti-helpful in this particular situation. And then looked back at this comment and...
...yeah. I think there is something to be said for just “build things.”
I had the same experience. I was essentially going to say “meta is only useful insofar as it helps you and others do object-level things, so focus on building object-level things...” oh.

Huh, I think “build things” is a meta comment, and on the lower end of helpfulness at that.
Said’s later comment with definitions for “building” and “things” seems significantly more helpful.
