Hey Max,

I looked into this and with some help from my friend, I understood what was happening.

Your derivative is indeed correct. However, see how we return o in the forward propagation function (with the sigmoid function already defined to it). Then, in the backward propagation function we pass o into the sigmoidPrime() function, which if you look back, is equal to self.sigmoid(self.z3). So, the code is correct.
