Ditto on the "don't get discouraged". I've gone through a few levels now and part of it has been perserverance (and sometimes a lot of thinking & sketching ideas over coffee). The "5 minutes with cURL" comment is definitely offputting if you get stuck. Ignore it. Consider it a convenient lie that helped motivate you to start, but don't kick yourself over it. As for the unreliable bot - many of my first solutions were something unreliable. Then I went back and improved the code's reliability / performance. Having a stroke of "luck" is usually just a first insight into what's going on.
