I would assume not only that you are not alone, but that any programmer with 10+ years under their belt feels the same way or is a glutton for punishment. The focus has shifted from crafting good code to a tech race ignoring the basics. Even those who focus on good code get lost in the spaghetti of "smell" and patterns.

I can't express how much I feel what you're saying.

IoT seems of interest to many. (Not me so much.) Maybe this[^] is of interest.

From MSDN: Quote: This exception is thrown when an OpenIdConnect protocol handler encounters an invalid nonce.
Does that means he is in a wheelchair? 
|
|
|
|
|
As you have probably already discovered that is referring to a cryptographic nonce[^].

Yes, but it is a very odd choice of word. In British slang a nonce is a sex offender, particularly one who abuses young people.
|
|
|
|
|
Interesting,
Looking at the etymology it appears that the British slang is modern from ~1975[^] with the older Middle English meaning 'something used once'.

Kind of like how "smoking a fag" means two entirely different things in GB English and USA English 
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, but you don't expect to find it in the technical documentation.

Maybe in the 80's.

Hmmm,
There is also the British 'chuffed to the muff' which an American might misunderstand.
|
|
|
|
|
As a secondary language English speaker it means nothing at all to me
I guessed it meant being full after a good dinner, but I was wrong and now I'm not chuffed to the muff

In your country... U kunt de kok om bitterballen vragen.
|
|
|
|
|
To quote this discussion's topic: What?
Other than the literal meaning, asking the cook for "bitterballen" (which has no English translation), I don't think that means anything
|

Heh,
I don't speak Dutch, I simply tried to generate a legible sentence out of funny sounding Dutch words.

Fair enough

Hm, never heard that one. But I have heard of the sport of muff diving.

it sounds unpleasant.
I know what it means though from hanging about with brits online.

I got banned from reddit for hate speech for three days for saying the former - in a private chat with my nice online English fren.

That must have been it.

What? I've been misusing it? I've used "nonce" as a synonym for "moment".
|

Probably acceptable where you live. Just be careful if you are over here.

Quote: In cryptography, a nonce is an arbitrary number that can be used just once in a cryptographic communication. It is similar in spirit to a nonce word, hence the name.
Which is a stupid fancy way of saying, your token isn't recognized!!! 
As to the word "invalid," I have always tried to not use that word, ever since I started "real" programming in my 20's. There are better words: "incorrect", "unrecognized", "wrong", "you're a shmuck!" etc.
