@nikitonsky apparently a hot take here... I am that person, though I prefer an integer code (for the machine) and a string (for the logs/developer) instead of a boolean, and most importantly an idiot-proof way to communicate to clients whether they should try again soon (with an exponential backoff) or give up because it'll never work unless they change something in the request, and even better if the code can describe specifically what field/data they should change. I believe the insurmountable chasm here between the different opinions is whether HTTP is the API or is just one of several possible transport layers, but of course that's probably an oversimplification.
