Blog: Embracing Simplicity: Our Boring Solution to Complex Error Handling in GitLab

Closes #34279 (closed)

This MR introduces a new blog post. The blog post focuses on our recent improvement in error handling that underscores the power and efficiency of 'boring', simple solutions.

Error handling is an integral part of our software, and differentiating between server-side runtime errors and client-side, user-facing errors was a unique challenge. Our approach to this issue aligns with GitLab's core values, making it an excellent topic for our community.
