					Dear nerds from all over the world,
 We get it. 404 pics are funny.
 
 But did you know there other status codes too?
 Like...
 204 - No Response
 301 - Moved
 302 - Found
 400 - Bad request
 401 - Unauthorized
 402 - Payment Required
 403 - Forbidden
 501 - Not Implemented
 502 - Service Temporarily Overloaded
 
 I'm sure you'll also find funny situations with these.
 Thanks. We're the best!26

					So, here's how online payment works in my country:
 
 1. The selling website creates a hidden <form> and populates it with product ID, price and etc.
 
 2. Some Javascript posts the mentioned form to the bank from the browser.
 
 3. User enters credit info, and submits. If all is right, the bank creates another hidden <form>, and populates is with status code and an invoice ID.
 
 4. Said form is then posted back to the selling website.
 
 I don't know how the programmers behind this scenario call themselves programmers if they don't know basic things about server-side only verifications, but thanks to them I've been buying a lot of products for free these past years. 😂😂
 
 How? 1. Just install Requestly, Tampermonkey and enable Chrome's dev tools.
 2. Change price to zero, and the bank's response code to success.
 3. Profit!
 
 P. S. I have notified the people behind this, but they don't listen and go fix their codes. Oh well, serves them right.13

					It's maddening how few people working with the internet don't know anything about the protocols that make it work. Web work, especially, I spend far too much time explaining how status codes, methods, content-types etc work, how they're used and basic fundamental shit about how to do the job of someone building internet applications and consumable services.
 
 The following has played out at more than one company:
 
 App: "Hey api, I need some data"
 API: "200 (plain text response message, content-type application/json, 'internal server error')"
 App: *blows the fuck up
 
 *msg service team*
 
 Me: "Getting a 200 with a plaintext response containing an internal server exception"
 Team: "Yeah, what's the problem?"
 Me: "...200 means success, the message suggests 500. Either way, it should be one of the error codes. We use the status code to determine how the application processes the request. What do the logs say?"
 Team: "Log says that the user wasn't signed in. Can you not read the response message and make a decision?"
 Me: "That status for that is 401. And no, that would require us to know every message you have verbatim, in this case, it doesn't even deserialize and causes an exception because it's not actually json."
 Team: "Why 401?"
 Me: "It's the code for unauthorized. It tells us to redirect the user to the sign in experience"
 Team: "We can't authorize until the user signs in"
 Me: *angermatopoeia* "Just, trust me. If a user isn't logged in, return 401, if they don't have permissions you send 403"
 Team: *googles SO* "Internet says we can use 500"
 Me: "That's server error, it says something blew up with an unhandled exception on your end. You've already established it was an auth issue in the logs."
 Team: "But there's an error, why doesn't that work?"
 Me: "It's generic. It's like me messaging you and saying, "your service is broken". It doesn't give us any insight into what went wrong or *how* we should attempt to troubleshoot the error or where it occurred. You already know what's wrong, so just tell me with the status code."
 Team: "But it's ok, right, 500? It's an error?"
 Me: "It puts all the troubleshooting responsibility on your consumer to investigate the error at every level. A precise error code could potentially prevent us from bothering you at all."
 Team: "How so?"
 Me: "Send 401, we know that it's a login issue, 403, something is wrong with the request, 404 we're hitting an endpoint that doesn't exist, 503 we know that the service can't be reached for some reason, 504 means the service exists, but timed out at the gateway or service. In the worst case we're able to triage who needs to be involved to solve the issue, make sense?"
 Team: "Oh, sounds cool, so how do we do that?"
 Me: "That's down to your technology, your team will need to implement it. Most frameworks handle it out of the box for many cases."
 Team: "Ah, ok. We'll send a 500, that sound easiest"
 Me: *..l.. -__- ..l..* "Ok, let's get into the other 5 problems with this situation..."
 
 Moral of the story: If this is you: learn the protocol you're utilizing, provide metadata, and stop treating your customers like shit.21

					Senior colleagues insisting on ALWAYS returning HTTP status 200 and sticking any error codes in the contained JSON response instead of using 4×× or 5×× statuses.
 
 Bad input? Failed connections? Missing authorization? Doesn't matter, you get an OK. Wanna know if the request actually succeeded? Fuck you, parse potential kilobytes of JSON to get to the error code!
 
 Am I the asshole or is that defeating the purpose of a status code?!13
- 
				    					
					
					I love Linux, but its community can be so full of incompetent assholes..
 
 Just now I asked in Freenode ##linux how to get the process ID of my current running process in bash. I got my answer - it's a shell built-in called "$$".
 
 Then people start to nitpick some more - why do you need it? How is that different from an exit? - to which my response was.. well I know the whole idea behind exit codes, and I'd use it whenever possible, in all defined behavior that allows my program to terminate itself whenever it can. This pidfile however would be used to exit itself and provide diagnostic information whenever the program enters undefined behavior - a segfault in C language. Scenarios in which I don't have full control over the script's behavior anymore, such as the system entering an unworkable state where the system stalled, still got some binaries in RAM but the rootfs got unwritable, such as now - very helpfully, thanks HP! - when my laptop likely overheated and shat itself. I issued sudo reboot into it, but even that wouldn't issue properly anymore due to the /sbin/poweroff binary becoming inaccessible too. I had to issue a hard power cycle.. one of the few times in which I'm thankful to HP for actually causing shit like this, lol.
 
 Point is, that undefined behavior is what I'm trying to mitigate against. I certainly can't let any files other than diagnostics remain in nonvolatile storage like that, especially when their state should be predictable in order to ensure good operation (like files expressing whether the script is already running or not, i.e. lock files).
 
 Back to that IRC chat. Aside from the answer, I got ridicule from people who probably don't even know how to properly compile a kernel. Ubuntu users, overconfident scum. Sometimes I feel like I should ask questions in channels like #archlinux only, where such incompetency is ridiculed on its own.13

					Hahaha guys I got the HTTP response codes tattooed on my arm so I don't forget them! Aren't I fun and quirky? I'm such a code nerd, oh thanks for the likes, Twitter! Wowowowow i am just SO FUN. Look at my nerdy tattoo!! 10 10

					TLDR: crappy api + idiot ex client combo rant // devam si duška
 
 I saw a lot of people bitching about APIs that don't return proper response codes and other stuff..
 
 Well let me tell you a story. I used to work on a project where we had to do something like booking, but better..crossbreed with the Off&Away bidding site (which btw we had to rip off the .js stuff and reverse engineer the whole timer thingy), using free versions of everything..even though money wasn't an issue (what our client said). Same client decided to go with transhotel because it was sooooo gooood... OK? Why did noone heard of them then?
 
 Anyhow, the api was xml based.. we had to send some xml that was validated against a schema, we received another that was supposed to be validated againts another schema.. and so on and so on..
 ...
 ...
 supposed..
 The API docs were nonexistent.. What was there, was broken English or Spanish.. Even had some comments like Add This & that to chapter xy.. Of course that chapter didn't even exist yet. :( And the last documentation they had, was really really old..more than a year, with visible gaps, we got the validation schemas not even listed in the docs, let alone described properly.
 Yaaay! And that was not everything.. besides wrong and missing data, the API itself caused the 500 server error whenever you were no longer authenticated.
 Of course it didn't tell you that your session was dead.. Just pooof! Unhandled crap everywhere!
 
 And the best part?! We handled that login after inspecting what the hell happened, but sent the notification to the company anyways.. We had a conf call, and sent numerous emails explaining to them what a 'try catch' is and how they should handle the not authenticated error <= BTW they should have had a handled xml response for that, we got the schema for it! But they didn't. Anyhow, after two agonizing days talking back and forth they at least set up the server to be available again after the horrified 500 error. Before, it even stopped responding until reset (don't ask me how they managed to do that).
 Oh yeah, did I mention this was a worldwide renown company?! Where everybody spoke/wrote English?! Yup, they have more than 700 people there, of course they speak English! <= another one of my ex clients fabulous statements... making me wanna strangle him with his tie.. I told him I am not talking to them because no-one there understood/spoke English and it would be a waste of my time.. Guess who spent almost 3 hours to talk to someone who sounded like a stereotypical Indian support tech guy with a flue speaking Italian?! // no offence please for the referenced parties!!
 
 So yeah, sadly I don't have SS of the fucked up documentation..and I cannot post more details (not sure if the NDA still holds even though they canceled the project).. Not that I care really.. not after I saw how the client would treat his customers..
 
 Anywayz I found on the interwebz some proof that this shitty api existed..
 picture + link: https://programmableweb.com/api/...
 
 SubRant: the client was an idiot! Probably still is, but no longer my client..
 Wanted to store the credit card info + cvc and owner info etc.. in our database.. for easier second payment, like on paypal (which he wanted me to totally customize the payment page of paypal, and if that wasn't possible to collect user data on our personalized payment page and then just send it over to paypal api, if possible in plaintext, he just didn't care as long as he got his personalized payment page) or sth.... I told the company owner that they are fucking retards if they think they can pull this off & that they will lose all their (potential) clients if they figure that out.. or god forbid someone hacked us and stole the data.. I think this shit is also against the law..
 I think it goes without saying what happened next.. called him ignorant stupid fucktard to his face and told him I ain't doing that since our company didn't even had a certificate to store the last 4 numbers.. They heard my voice over the whole firm.. we had fish-tank like offices, so they could all see me yelling at the director..
 Guess who got laid off due to not being needed anymore the next day?! It was the best day of my life..so far!! Never have I been happier to lose my job!!
 
 P.S. all that crap + test + the whole backand for analysis, the whole crm + campaign emails etc.. the client wanted done in 6 months.. O.o
 
 P.P.S. almost shat my pants when devRant notified my I cannot post and wanted to copy the message and then everything disappeard.. thank god I have written this in the n++ xD undefined venting big time issues no documentation idiot xml security api privacy ashole crappy client rant11 undefined venting big time issues no documentation idiot xml security api privacy ashole crappy client rant11

					So at the moment I'm developing a RESTful API for an internal project at work and I'm starting to learn and understand about HTTP status codes.
 
 So I started incorporating proper response HTTP status etc, but my co-workers don't understand what any of it means. They think that just sending a JSON response is enough with any messages should be enough. I think this mindset stems from people who just do simple AJAX calls in JavaScript just to get or store data.
 
 It's these kind of developers that I find are lazy or have no motivation to improve themselves, which is disappointing.5
- 
				    					
					
					This begs for a rant... [too bad I can't post actual screenshots :/ ]
 
 Me: He k8s team! We're having trouble with our k8s cluster. After scaling up and running h/c and Sanity tests environment was confirmed as Healthy and Stable. But once we'd started our load tests k8s cluster went out for a walk: most of the replicas got stoped and restarted and I cannot find in events' log WHY that happened. Could you please have a look?
 
 k8s team [india]: Hello, thank you for reaching out to k8s support. We will check and let you know.
 
 Me: Oh, you're welcome! I'll be just sitting here quietly and eagerly waiting for your reply. TIA! :slightly_smiling_face:
 
 <5 minutes later>
 
 k8s team India: Hi. Could you give me a list of replicas that were failing?
 
 Me: I gave you a Grafana link with a timeframe filter. Look there -- almost all apps show instability at k8s layer. For instance APP_1 and APP_2 were OK. But APP_3, APP_4 and APP_5 were crashing all over the place
 
 k8s team India: ok I will check.
 
 <My shift has ended. k8s team works in different timezone. I've opened up Slack this morning>
 
 k8s team India: HI. APP_1 and APP_2 are fine. I don't even see any errors from logs, no restarts. All response codes are 200.
 
 Me: 🤦♂️ .... Man, isn't that what I've said? ... 🤦♂️5
- 
				    					
					
					SO MAD. Hands are shaking after dealing with this awful API for too long. I just sent this to a contact at JP Morgan Chase.
 
 -------------------
 Hello [X],
 1. I'm having absolutely no luck logging in to this account to check the Order Abstraction service settings. I was able to log in once earlier this morning, but ever since I've received this frustratingly vague "We are currently unable to complete your request" error message (attached). I even switched IP's via a VPN, and was able to get as far as entering the below Identification Code until I got the same message. Has this account been blocked? Password incorrect? What's the issue?
 
 2. I've been researching the Order Abstraction API for hours as well, attempting to defuddle this gem of an API call response:
 
 error=1&message=Authentication+failure....processing+stopped
 
 NOWHERE in the documentation (last updated 14 months ago) is there any reference to this^^ error or any sort of standardized error-handling description whatsoever - unless you count the detailed error codes outlined for the Hosted Payment responses, which this Order Abstraction service completely ignores. Finally, the HTTP response status code from the Abstraction API is "200 OK", signaling that everything is fine and dandy, which is incorrect. The error message indicates there should be a 400-level status code response, such as 401 Unauthorized, 403 Forbidden or at least 400 Bad Request.
 
 Frankly, I am extremely frustrated and tired of working with poorly documented, poorly designed and poorly maintained developer services which fail to follow basic methodology standardized decades ago. Error messages should be clear and descriptive, including HTTP status codes and a parseable response - preferably JSON or XML.
 -----
 
 This whole piece of garbage is junk. If you're big enough to own a bank, you're big enough to provide useful error messages to the developers kind enough to attempt to work with you. 2 2
- 
				    					
					
					A new development rule I've started to implement:
 
 All backend APIs will be written with the assumption that it's gonna get distributed as an API for 3rd parties to be integrated in their systems - meaning that every API I write will have proper response status codes for appropriate scenarios (like 400, 429, 500 status codes).
 
 No more `res.json({status: false, message: 'message'})` with 200 status code across the board.8
- 
				    					
					
					I am trying to implement an API. It has a very good documentation, everything is written clear and simple, along with
 
 - HTTP 401 on unauthorized request and
 - Error codes from 1-35 with definitions
 
 Opened the provided sample file, changed the username, password and client code fields to our own in the source, then tried the request. The Response:
 
 HTTP 200
 {"ErrorCode":-1,"ErrorDescription":"Unauthorized."}
 
 Well, thank you very much! 🤬2
- 
				    					
					
					Do you guys return 200 when a search function in your API returns a not found and you attach a response in the object saying "success: false", or do you return 404? I'm confused. Thanks.
 
 https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/...3

					Sometimes I ask myself how former IT people can become "Bosses"
 
 Boss: We need to validate all links on our site
 
 Me:Okay, let's vrab the response codes and some variations of under construction and we should be done.
 
 Boss: No that only tests negatives, we need to test if the website content still matches.
 
 Me: How?
 
 Boss: Hmm... Just test if some keywords exist.
 
 Me: So you want me to add a bunch of keywords for +-150 links? What about the maintenance?
 
 Boss: Well, those sites basically never change.
 
 Me: Then why do that?
 
 Boss: Well, for when they change.
 
 Now I can search through 150 mostly legal stuffy pages to find usefull keywords only to get a bunch of wrong negatives because the fucking semantics have changed...
 +I have to type all that shit. Primarily, I have to type.3
- 
				    					
					
					Its midnight here...worked for almost 12 hours.... Spend the last 30 mins or so very frustrated and try to figure out why I am not getting desired response. Edited the code again and again... Soon I realize... I am editing local codes, never pushed to live. And Im testing live the whole time....WOW. I am relieved and ashamed at the same time.
- 
				    					
					
					That moment when you in Computer Security Management and the Professor shows you the different between
 
 Alt+ Tab and Windows + Tab.
 
 Professor: did you guys know about these shortcuts?
 Me: of course how else do I code, write a post and check one on Stack Overflow, Google help on a code, check my work email for the boss response, and see how the codes runs on a browser?
- 
				    					
					
					jinja templates make me look towards html in a whole new light. are we 'inserting' data to an already rendered page? am i really mixing server code with ui ? It doesn't feel so. there are if else and loops being executed for html code, like wtf?
 
 I don't know but everything feels so good. like i was literally hating every piece of website i was writing in php. everytime i wrote <div>....</div> followed by <?php ... ?> followed by another html tag /php tag in a fuckin php file, i wanted to kill someone from w3c.
 WHY THE FUCK ARE WE ALLOWING THE MIXUP ?WHY IS PHP FILE HOLDING HTM TAGS? WHY?WHY?WHY?
 
 But this... this is beauty. their is separation of concerns. jinja has some big powers, we can loop, repeat, make clauses, inherit other html classes, load html content into blocks, set variables,
 but main concepts like file handling, response/request handling,calculations,etc are all being done in separate python files. I know that these jinja templates also might be running python in background, but atleast a developer cannot fuck up that code.
 we can be sure that if correct jinja codes are written in html, then it would load correctly. And wherever devs doesn't fuck up, the output is better to understand and more maintainable/scaleable3

					Was working as the only frontend developer ona project having 4 "senior" developers. They use Laravel to make an API feeding the angular app.
 Why the documentation sucked?
 Half the API call params where missing, and not one time did I come across an example stating that the API expects a boolean only to find out 20 minutes later that they mean int 1 or 0 not true or false. Best part however was sending arrays in POST by sending the elements as comma separated values (e1,e2,e3...). Oh and not documentation but while at it a rant... There are other response codes except 200 for fucks sake

 The clinking of kibble bowls and staccato slap of paws against linoleum usually serve as background to my days. That day, however, our animal rescue's crypto wallet, our financial lifeline that covered all sorts of spay surgeries and emergency parvo treatments, was more bare than a dog park during a thunderstorm. A phishing attempt, disguised as a donation receipt for a "kind benefactor" (spoiler: their kind was stealing $215,000), had cleaned us out. Trigger panic: volunteers huddled around one computer, adoptive kittens blissfully batting at keyboard cables, and me Google-searching can you repo a cat? Enter Sarah, our expert volunteer who codes firewalls by day and plays with stray kittens by night. She slid a sticky note across the desk: ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST. They're like the animal control of crypto scams. Desperation eclipsed skepticism. I emailed them, half-expecting to receive a bot response. Instead, a guy named Marco replied in minutes: Send us the transaction hash. We'll hunt. As it was, phishing our crypto was simpler than stealing steak from a pack of wolves. ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST crew dissected the attack with the precision of a vet neutering a tomcat. The robbers had channeled donations through privacy coins and decentralized exchanges, a digital shell game designed to lose us in the noise. But ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST engineers? They followed it down like bloodhounds to a money laundering fund masquerading as a "charity DAO (their paperwork riddled with typos like "helping puppys since 2023 beginners).
 Ten days later, Marco called: Check your wallet. I refreshed, expecting another error message. Instead, our balance flashed green, back to the cent. The shelter erupted, a din of barks, meows, and one intern crying into a Chihuahua's sweater. The scammers' wallets? Frozen faster than a stray in a blizzard.
 ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST didn't save dollars; they saved futures. That $215,000 bought a terrier's spinal fusion, shots for 47 shelter animals, and a whole year's supply of that excellent kibble our old dogs negotiate not loving. Our online wallet now has more security than a porcupine has quills, and Sarah's now officially Director of Not Getting Hacked Again. If your nonprofit's funds ever disappear into the ether of cyberspace, don't bawl into the garbage can. Call the ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST . They'll treat your case like a patient in critical care, no matter how many paws are on the keyboard. Just maybe hide your keyboard from the kittens first.1

					🚀 “I Wanted GitHub Copilot in My Pocket — So I Built It Myself”
 
 For years, I’ve had this weird habit of coding from random places — cafés, buses, hospital waiting rooms, you name it. But every time inspiration hit, I found myself thinking the same thing:
 
 “Man, I wish I could just use Copilot on my phone.”
 
 It’s 2025. We’ve got AI writing novels, generating music, and summarizing 500-page research papers in 2 seconds — yet somehow, GitHub Copilot still refuses to leave the comfort of VS Code on desktop.
 
 So I decided to fix that.
 
 💡 The Idea
 
 It started as frustration — a “wouldn’t it be cool if” moment. I was halfway through an idea for a small project on a train, and my brain screamed:
 
 “Why can’t I just ask Copilot to finish this function right now?”
 
 VS Code was sitting at home, my laptop was dead, and all I had was my phone.
 
 That night, I scribbled this into my notes app:
 
 “Bridge Copilot from VS Code → phone → secure channel → no cloud.”
 
 At the time, it sounded insane. Who even wants to make their life harder by reverse-engineering Copilot responses and piping them into React Native?
 Apparently — me.
 
 🧩 The Architecture (aka “How to Lose Sleep in 4 Easy Steps”)
 
 The system ended up like this:
 
 VS Code Extension <-> WebSocket <-> Discovery API (Go + Redis) <-> React Native App
 
 Here’s how it works:
 
 The VS Code extension runs locally, listening to Copilot’s output stream.
 
 A Go backend acts as a matchmaker — helping my phone and PC find each other securely.
 
 The mobile app connects via WebSocket and authenticates with a 6-digit pairing code.
 
 Once paired, they talk directly. No repo data leaves your machine.
 
 It’s like a tiny encrypted tunnel between your phone and VS Code — only it’s not VPN magic, just some careful WebSocket dancing and token rotation.
 
 🛠️ The Stack
 
 Frontend (Mobile): React Native (Expo)
 
 Backend: Go + Redis for connection brokering
 
 VS Code Extension: TypeScript
 
 Security: JWT + rotating session keys
 
 AI Layer: GitHub Copilot (local interface)
 
 🧠 The Challenges
 
 There’s a difference between an “idea” and a “12-hour debugging nightmare that makes you question your life choices.”
 
 Cross-Network Discovery:
 How to connect phone and desktop on different networks?
 → A lightweight Redis broker that just handles handshakes.
 
 Security:
 I wasn’t making a mini TeamViewer for hackers.
 → Added expiring pairing codes, user-approval dialogs, and local-only token storage.
 
 Copilot Response Streaming:
 Copilot doesn’t have a nice public API.
 → Hooked into VS Code’s Copilot output and streamed it over WebSocket.
 (Yes, 2% genius and 98% madness.)
 
 UX:
 The first version had a 10-second delay.
 After optimizing WebSocket batching and Redis latency, it’s now near-instant.
 
 🤯 The “Holy Sh*t, It Works” Moment
 
 The first time my phone sent a prompt — and my VS Code actually answered with Copilot’s suggestion — I legit screamed.
 
 Like, full-on victory dance in the middle of the night.
 There’s something surreal about watching your phone chat with your desktop like they’re old coding buddies.
 
 Now I can literally say:
 
 “Copilot, write me a REST API,”
 and my phone responds with fully generated code pulled from my local VS Code instance.
 
 No VPN. No cloud syncing. Just pure, geeky magic.
 
 ⚡ The Lessons
 
 The hardest problems aren’t technical — they’re psychological.
 Fighting “this is impossible” is the real challenge.
 
 Speed matters more than perfection.
 Devs don’t want beauty; they want responsiveness. Anything over 1s feels broken.
 
 Security must never be an afterthought.
 I treated this like a bank tunnel between devices, not a toy.
 
 Build for yourself first.
 I didn’t make this for investors or glory — I made it because I wanted it.
 That’s the best reason to build anything.
 
 🧭 The Future
 
 Now that it’s working, I’m turning this experiment into something shareable.
 The dream: an app that lets every developer carry Copilot wherever they go — safely and instantly.
 
 Imagine debugging on your couch, or editing code in bed, or just whispering to your AI assistant while waiting for coffee.
 
 Phones today are more powerful than early NASA computers.
 Why shouldn’t they also be your code editor sidekick?
 
 So yeah, that’s my story.
 I built VSCoder Copilot — because I wanted to code from anywhere, and I refused to wait for permission.
 
 If you’ve ever built something just to scratch your own itch, you already know this feeling.
 That mix of frustration, caffeine, and late-night triumph that reminds you why you fell in love with coding in the first place.
 
 Because at the end of the day, that’s what we do:
 We make ideas real — one ridiculous hack at a time. 💻🔥9
