I am so glad to be done with all of that interview nonsense. I am working my last job and when it is done, I am done. I never had to do any kind of 'code challenge'. Anytime a recruiter informed me that the employer required one, I simply refused the interview. There's only some much BS I was willing to put up with.
And it's all over now.

We never have had a president* so completely deserving of scorn and yet so small in the office that it almost seems a waste of time and energy to summon the requisite contempt

It's a good way for an employer to signal that they're clueless about tech.

I have a windows hotkey that selects the current line and opens a new browser window with a duckduckgo search... As long as it opens on the other monitor, I am good!
But TBH, I don't care if someone googles the syntax. Geez... I have programmed in over 30 languages. There is Nuance and Syntax all the time... The important skills is the problem solving!

Actually, I've a different take on this whole discussion about search engine impaired-ness.
Such code challenge stuff during an interview is nearly always an indication of absolute clueless-ness of the interviewer. Though it tends to mean they've got some search engine skills and probably got those questions from exactly the same spot you're now finding in your search.
I.e. it's a situation of: "This guy's coding much to close to the answer we found online. He must be cheating."

As suspected it my code was at fault, what I did not expect was that the only significance of changing equipment was that the last thing I did before swapping out the old machine was incorrect and undetected!
There were problems debugging due to the machine change the upshot of which is that I can now deploy an ASP.NET Core app to my local IIS.
No promises, but if I can, I will aim to put together a cheat sheet for the Tips/Tricks board for hooking into Identity Server 4.

Great guys and gals - got to check that off from my bucket list!
And Toronto, the city itself -- somewhat of an "ewww" experience as I drove through it. Dozens of glass skyscrapers, each vying to get a better view of the lake. Madness, and hideous, IMHO.

Hmm, I forgot to ask. I also didn't see a pet store on the way, otherwise I actually would have gotten some hamster food -- that would have been a great laugh!

You should have replied "Nope - but I can see where you are coming from".
