OMG - Laracasts has a "The Net" backdoor

Just discovered the button labeled with the PI-Symbol on the homepage of laracasts. Clicking it doesn't trigger anything. But rembering there was this superb hacker movie with sandra bullock I found out with the power of google, that you can enter the PI-Backdoor with the combination + + clicking the symbol. (Now how secure is that, huh?) Aaaaand...it didn't work ;-( But using my super hacking powers (like Sandra in the movie) I found out, that with the combination + + clicking Pi a access to the backdoor is possible. Aaaaand...I got the message "UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS". Who has more hacking powers than me and can assist? Or has seen the movie lately to provide secret knowledge?

I gave it a good go, but can't figure out what it's doing either. Will be interesting to see what it's for though!

<button class="pi" @click.meta.shift="takeWrongTurn">π</button>

then

takeWrongTurn:function(){window.location="/wrong-turn"}}}

https://laracasts.com/wrong-turn

I can't get the button to work but you can just go the to wrong turn URL.

Nice little easter egg ;) The Net was a pretty cool movie.

On a mac, hold "shift" and "command" then click the button.

Thanks for the blast from the past moment Jeffrey.
