Learn Neural Networks With Go, Not Math

Live code builds a feedforward neural network Go implementation from scratch with neurons as weight slices plus bias, a layer type, sigmoid activation, and mean squared error loss. Training uses explicit gradients and plain gradient descent/backprop to update weights; a normalization service and Garden/Kubernetes rebuild containers on code changes. Demo shows a loss curve that tapers as epochs run, though predictions remain off due to an implementation bug.
