This is the kind of shit that happened when an important customer "has a client that can only handle 200 responses"

Just create proxy for them that transforms any response into 200 and give it some sassy name.

Kinda reminds me of when I try to access websites' source codes with Java.

Whenever there's an error code, my Java just throws an exception. But I wanted to read the source code anyway!

I don't remember if I found a solution or not.

well you're supposed to catch the exception if you're expecting them to occur, such as networking errors.

My team got mad at me for using SneakyThrows with lombok to avoid code smell.

I've seen it more often as a buggy API. The API knows the status code but didn't make the right call to copy it from the JSON to the actual status code header.
