A lot of engineers have only ever written or interacted with server side code using heavy abstractions offered by web frameworks. Stuff like different request methods, response codes, headers and more should be basic knowledge but is not.
I once blew the minds of a room full of senior engineers by setting up a server which responds with the headers and different chunks of the body at different times, and so the content appears sequentially in the browser with a delay. They literally did not know you could do that.
