Yes, But The API Says No

api-memes, http-memes, backend-memes, restful-memes, json-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The classic API response contradiction that haunts my nightmares. Server returns HTTP 200 OK (everything's fine!) but then smugly delivers {"error": true} in the response body. It's like a waiter saying "Your meal is ready!" while handing you an empty plate with a note that says "actually we're out of food." Seven years of backend development and I'm still finding APIs that pull this nonsense. The worst part? Some senior dev is defending this somewhere right now as "technically correct."

IF YOU GET ERRORS, SAVE YOUR WORK ELSEWHERE, DELETE THE PROJECT, AND DOWNLOAD A FRESH COPY. Git is known for being a versatile distributed source control system that is a staple of many individuals, communities, and even for the City of Chattanooga to crowd source bicycle parking locations. However, it is not known for userfriendliness or easy learning curve. Ungit brings user friendliness to git without sacrificing the versatility of git. Clean and intuitive UI that makes it easy to understand git.
