This sounds perfect. I think her concern is if your script became the basis for a new product. Now your company depends on it running more often and no one is manually reviewing the output.
- XCSme 7y agoThe final point in my comment was that even if you spend a lot of time trying to make a more reliable product instead of a quick script, you still can't be sure it will never break in the future as the data source can become invalid at any point. Imagine a news website, they update their platform and suddenly all 404 pages actually redirect to first article/post in database instead of correctly returning 404, so your product would crawl the same data each day and say everything is fine, even though it's not. There are infinite such problems that can arise, so even if you have a well-thought product, it still needs some human sanity-checks and updates once in a while.
