Are you returning HTTP 200 for all your API messages, even when they're erroneous? Using HTTP status codes correctly is a crucial aspect of API design. This is because HTTP is universal, and the return code allows a client to understand how the server performed, regardless of the language or framework they use. It's essential not to always return HTTP 200, but rather to learn how to use the different status codes and choose the appropriate one for each situation.
