In reply to Jeff Chandler.

Thanks for the links, Jeff. I even learned a new word - "hackery".
Note the double binding definition - ingenious AND inelegant techniques together.

From Wiktionary:

hackery
2. (slang, computing) The use of hacks (ingenious but inelegant techniques).

Quotation:
2012, Seymour Bosworth, ‎M. E. Kabay, ‎Eric Whyne, Computer Security Handbook (page 57)
All without any of the subterfuge and hackery required to do it with Java.
