Road to Activision: Will I Make It or Crash and Burn? #Blog_2

🧵 Day 2: HTTP 200 OK, Mentally 503 Service Unavailable🤖

Today wasn't anything too fancy - but hey, atleast APIs now acknowledge my existence.
💻 What I Did

• Got comfy with the different HTTP methods
• Learnt what the mysterious status codes actually mean:
  • 200: It works!
  • 400: You messed up.
  • 500: Server messed up or you broke it...
• Spent some quality time with Postman - followed this tutorial and tested different API scenarios.
• Learnt how to validate JSON - cause computer is too picky with the syntax.

🔪 LeetCode of the day
Knocked 3 medium problems from neetcode.io:
✅ Group Anagrams
✅ Top K Frequent Elements

On to Day 3. Hopefully fewer 400s tomorrow. Mentally still 503, but improving.
