The fuck off contact page

Story time - A few years back I had to update a company linkedIn page, couldn't find who was admin and the normal process was broken somehow - can't remember the exact details.

Found an obscure reference to a support page where you could contact them about exactly the issue I had, but the form was broken...

I could see a coding error in the dev console, so I hot-patched the code and submitted a ticket!

Lo and behold, a day later my problem was solved and I gained admin access to the company page! I still wonder what the support team thought when they received the support ticked?

Oof, the amount of times I've had to reformat a POST request in the dev console on a forgotten subdomain of a company website...

>so I hot-patched the code and submitted a ticket!

Can you tell more, how did you "hot-patched" the code of website big as Linkedin?

Browser developer tools let you edit all of the client-side code for a website, and these days it's pretty common for bugs to be in the client-side js.

Ha! I had to do something similar, I think for Texas Instruments? I signed up for an account and for some reason could not login. Apparently on the client side they were limiting how many characters could be in the password. I also had to force a submit of the login form with my longer password to login and then change my password to something shorter.
