A STORY ABOUT HTTP STATUS CODES AND WHY YOU SHOULD READ DOCUMENTATION

Surprisingly, the API returned an HTTP 200 status code (indicating success) for a non-existent user, which should logically have resulted in a 404 (not found) error. This incident highlighted the need for correct HTTP status codes in API responses and the importance of defensive coding.
