Similarly, I once worked somewhere that had an HTTP API that returned status code 200 {“error”: “ok”} to indicate an error occurred.

A lot of GraphQL APIs are like this! They return a 200 just to mean the damn GraphQL is well formed, and the call can totally fail underneath.

Now why would you make such a monstrosity? Audit logs? I was having good day till now.

I saw a code base where SQL UDFs were used to mutate the data with SELECTs...

Say what now
