Lobste.rs Bug Workaround: Patch JS Error with Dev Tools
Lobste.rs has a JavaScript error affecting logged-in users, breaking comment previews and other features. Users can fix it by overriding the faulty script in Dev Tools or using a TamperMonkey script to define missing functions qS and qSA. The workaround restores full site functionality until a redeploy.

A clever community-driven fix, but the real story is that a production site shipped broken JS—a reminder that even developer-focused platforms aren't immune to basic scripting errors.
