alt Hacker NewsI literally just came to HN to ask if I was alone with the acurséd "API Error: 500 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"api_error","message":"Internal server error"},"request_id":"…"}" greeting me and telling me to get back to using my brain!

500-series errors are server-side, 400 series are client side.
A 500 error is almost never "just you".
( 404 is a client error, because it's the client requesting a file that does not exist, a problem with the client, not the server, who is _obviously_ blameless in the file not existing. )
