I can totally relate to that ambitious line of thinking: given a task to solve, you imagined the logical next steps, to build an environment for solving that general class of tasks. Great lesson about feature creep, but I also think that kind of vision and ambitious problem-solving can be valuable in the long term, if it works the whole community/ecosystem can benefit.
