Backend casually hands over a perfectly clean 200 OK response to Frontend. Simple, elegant, beautiful. Then Frontend reads the actual error message buried inside that 200 OK body and realizes Backend just wrapped a failure in success clothing. Classic backend move—technically correct (the best kind of correct) but absolutely infuriating for anyone trying to handle errors properly on the client side. Nothing says "I don't understand HTTP status codes" quite like returning 200 for literally everything. Bonus points if the error details are nested 5 levels deep in the JSON response under a key called "status" or "success: false". Because why use the protocol as intended when you can reinvent the wheel inside the response body?
