How did this project help you to learn computer vision? I'd also like to write a basic captcha solver as an intro, but superficially this project just looks like a dump of generated code.

What do you mean by "generated code"? All of the code in the linked GitHub repo was written by me, with the assistance of a couple friends who helped here and there, but didn't request to be credited.

I learned a lot because I had to do a ton of research and experimentation (fancy word for trial-and-error) to write the code and have it work as I expected.

I think there's been a misunderstanding. I didn't understand you were the author of the linked article, and read the following exchange to mean you'd found the code at https://github.com/drunohazarb/4chan-captcha-solver to be a helpful introduction:

> > I've built 3 iterations of captcha solvers for that crappy website based on https://github.com/drunohazarb/4chan-captcha-solver/issues/1

> This project was really my first decent introduction to computer vision and machine learning

I see now that your code is linked from the article, and looks really informative - thanks for sharing!
