   @zachleat Besties with "Internet Disconnected: Check your network connection and then retry." when the API returns a business logic error or the server is down.

         @zachleat Just as well, take this: 200 OK

         { "error": "internal_server_error" }

   @zachleat I still cannot understand how anybody could think this is a good user facing error message.

   I think it's worse than showing an empty page in the sense that someone without technical background can't resolve it for themselves - hell, even from someone who has the knowhow should not be expected to dig in some random (sometimes multi billionaire company's) website to fix the damn bug.

      @pcdevil it is a very strange user-facing choice 😅
