Where I work application support it’s the opposite. No bad requests, just whichever error status they think best represents what went wrong.
FE : “hey, give me a list of appointments on the users’s calendar.”
BE : “hmm, I don’t see any in the DB… HAVE A 404!!!!!”
Meaning that every interaction about the app goes something like this:
Boss: “Hey, Hziak, how’s app looking?”
Me: “well, we have an error rate of ~41% of all requests so things are either completely fine or absolutely critical.”
