If your goal is to learn something deeply and not just get something out the door, I don’t believe “just build something” is not the prevailing wisdom.

Building something is a part of how you reinforce what you've learned from actual material like books, documentation and others research. You still need to know some of the basic building blocks to get started.

Agreed. There's not much that will bake freshly learned theory into your brain more than realising just how far it could have taken you in hindsight. Over time, this starts to develop into foresight.
