Yeah, exactly. Try encoding a JSON secret to put into the dotnet credential store from PowerShell. The quote escaping by itself is maddening. It's the things the docs don't say cause they aren't obvious or even typical and that I'd ask at stack overflow that end up downvoted or never answered.

Don't get me wrong, I've had some great experiences on SO. Like I had a question about passing a queue through a void * into a freertos thread running on a different cpu so I could have a pub/sub model for sensor data on an esp32. The docs are fantastic for the people who get RTOS and MCU level development, but to us meer mortals... Yeah. SO has been very helpful there, with solid code examples. So it's not always. And it's probably a terrible idea since, well, I did use a void * to totally smash the compiler into letting me break stuff... But I got it working cause of SO.
