You sound so proud of your accomplishment, and I question if there's really nothing to be proud of here. I doubt you really learned anything, a machine told you what to do and you did it, like coloring by numbers - it doesn't make you an artist. You won't be able to build upon it, without asking the machine to do more of the thinking for you. And I think that's kind of sad.

>I'm a builder, fixer, tinkerer who happens to make a living writing code

I have to doubt that. If you were all those things, you would have been able to complete that project with very little effort, and without a machine telling you what to do.
