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?

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.
