I unironically use this website everytime I forget a status code at work. The name is instantly memorable, it loads immediately, and I can ctrl-f it. It's basically muscle memory at this point.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes is a bit more practical
Yes, but opening that and searching for "411" is much slower than just typing "http.cat/411" into the URL bar
Also relieves a stress a bit with a funny cat photo. There's also http.dog to the same effect.
...which is when you set up a browser bookmark with a keyword, so you can just type "http 411" and it will redirect you! :-)
Eg.: "https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/..." would then go to: "https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/..."
Same - most of the time I just directly open the specific status (e.g https://http.cat/504 )
I always post a cat from it whenever I need to specify a response code in an issue ;)
Same. I know and see several of the codes all the time. But occasionally I encounter a weird one and I always go to http.cat to find out what it is.
i still don't understand 409 errors. saw one for the first time a few weeks ago
Key violation in your database? Can't insert the record because the key already exists? Thus conflict
Ahaha same.
