I know an architect who designs APIs this way. Also includes a status code in the response object because why have one status code when you can have two, potentially contradictory, status codes?

Lmao do they work at Oracle???

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago

When I used to work at Oracle every so often a customer would call and complain some function was throwing error "ORA-00000 normal successful completion" and they wanted it filing as a bug and for us to fix it.

I was never quite sure how we were supposed to fix stupid.
