Nice side project. The thing I’d be slightly nervous about is the football-data cron. On small apps like this, it’s often not the app crashing, it’s some scheduled job quietly stopping and the data going stale. How would you notice that here? GitHub Actions notifications, logs, or just manual checking?

AI output is fine as a draft. The mess starts when people ship it without being able to explain the diff.

The missing part is usually the real workflow. If there is no output and no cost for being wrong, the AI tool just becomes another toy to maintain.

The account recovery story says a lot. At some size, companies start handling people as tickets. Sometimes it only gets fixed because one person inside still cares.

Postinstall hooks are a footgun. The bad part here is that people reviewing a PHP package may not even look closely at package.json.
