418 comes from an April fools' joke published as RFC7168.
I've used it for debugging before because it stands out and is generally suported.
As per RFC, when an internet-connected teapot is asked to brew coffee.
418: catchall API response when all else fails. Easy to filter in logs.
Don't forget http.dog

This is great, DEFCON talks are always amazing :D
The one about email is also great.
Is the API new? LOL, never seen that and now I need a project for an excuse to implement it.
