Everytime I whine about sad state of packaging in #python, I need to remember that it could be worse.

#npm returned "418 I'm a teapot" error for couple of hours today, due to some programming error.

npm command was returning: "npm ERR! code E418 npm ERR! 418 I'm a teapot: ..."

@jacek It's a valid code from RFC 2324. 😋

@jacek I'm assuming it means "invalid option"

@AskChip Actually it meant "I'll reject your, perfectly valid, host header and won't tell you more ;)".

Sending proper HTTP error code would make lifes easier.

@jacek It is a proper error code for invalid option requesting coffee. Not that you actually requested coffee. Some programmers get a little weird when their debugging takes too long.
