It's totally inactionable though. "Build interesting things", "meet great people". It sounds nice but it's completely hollow. Not to mention "what looks good on a CV" is actually a really important thing to consider.
"Build interesting things" is pretty actionable, it just requires opening your code editor and building stuff that interests you. There's a good chance that your interests will overlap with other people's interets and that you'll end up having built something interesting.
"Meet great people" isn't crazy hard either, literally just talk to people, and keep talking to the one you find great. If you have trouble talking to people, I recommend Dale Carnegie's book (How to win friends or something).
