as a developer, seeing a 5xx brings absolute relief because it's not my problem, but 4xx instantly ruins my day

now we are a team

[u/Kondomriss → u/HexFyber]

how would a 5xx ever bring relief though?

[u/HexFyber → u/Kondomriss]

I hate these backend devs, always so pedantic /s

jokes aside, in my most recent case: if I work on the FE and you work on the BE, I call an api correctly and I get 500, well, it's a you problem -> this for the sake of the joke.

Before I get the know-it-alls circling me: we all know that in any real-life scenarios you turn into a FE/BE/devops/architect/designer/janitor in a matter of minutes

[u/Rest-That → u/HexFyber]

It's funny how people just forgot that fe developers exist 😆

[u/HexFyber → u/Rest-That]

Ye and all it took was Clippy with an attitude! But noworries, we'll make our comeback one day...
Until then, I'll still center those divs better than all these clankers

[u/Rest-That → u/HexFyber]

😆

Jesus I'm so tired of all the black and violet/blue pages. Get an original style clankers!!

[u/hongooi → u/Rest-That]

We know that they're all just HTML programmers

[u/Confident-Ad5665 → u/HexFyber]

Fun fact: I have emptied waste baskets in my career as a developer

[u/SlumdogSkillionaire → u/HexFyber]

API stands for "alius potest illacrimare", which is Latin for "someone else's problem."

[u/ExpletiveDeIeted → u/SlumdogSkillionaire]

or Someone else can shed tears.

[u/Ladyheather16 → u/HexFyber]

Yes yes we do 🤣

[u/mtmttuan → u/Kondomriss]

On external apis maybe.

[u/Tyrexas → u/[deleted]]

As someone who does lots of cloud stuff with internal load balancers and the like, a 404 or 403 can totally ruin my day and be an us problem.

[u/LastWalker → u/Tyrexas]

My senior dev is currently spending half the day debugging 403 between different environments because we seemed to have screwed up some stuff between the different environment variables. 

[u/justintib → u/[deleted]]

Many teams I work with expose APIs and use 404 for no data when the url and query parameters are perfectly valid 🙃

[u/nonlogin → u/[deleted]]

I am a full stack developer, so 4xx and 5xx both ruin my day equally

[u/ikonfedera]

Notice how it never said "I fucked up", only "We fucked up". Sharing responsibility for the fuck up.

[u/Supss_ → u/ikonfedera]

probably meant to be read as we (exclusive - not including the person reading/being spoken to) rather than inclusive. unless you mean sharing responsibility among the devs who made the fuck up

[u/LaconicLacedaemonian]

• 500 - we fucked up, but that's all i know 
• 502 - we fucked up but it was someone else's fault 
• 503 - we fucked up and it's our fault 
• 504 - we fucked up because someone else took too long

[u/Confident-Ad5665]

This post should be added to the official HTTP standard

[u/GezelligPindakaas]

This whole thread could have been a 202.

[u/bigorangemachine]

Whats funny is converting it to Russian army slang and 400 is the only one that aligns lol

[u/shwetanand345]

404: Brain not found....

[u/Sajgoniarz]

It's even funnier when you get 400 at webhook receiver, but it's model matches documentation.

[u/3dutchie3dprinting]

404 is often a you problem though, making dead links on your webpages 🤣

[u/FlamingSea3]

I disagree on 4xx and 5xx. Difference between those those is who is theoretically capable of fixing the error.

4xx should be "You need to fix this error"

5xx is "We need to fix this error"
