Dad taught my brother and I how to "run" a clutch on an Oliver/Hart Parr 70, Oliver 77 (have) and Dodge 1 ton truck on my uncles farm (Mom's side) when we were pretty young. I got to work on various uncle/cousin's farms (both sides), graduating from the 77, 880, etc to green 4020's and 4430's.
Dad left his family's farm - going to get an education. He got a 2 year degree and began teaching in a one room school where we're from - but then had to take a time out to serve his country in WW-II and then again in Korea. Upon returning, he built his own house and married Mom in 1951. 3 kids came along in 1954, 1955 and 1963 but Dad kept teaching and learning over the next several years - earning a master's degree in education and developing an Industrial Arts program at the high school he graduated from.
After all the rugrats were in school, Mom returned to teaching elementary school. Somehow, they were able to put the three of us through engineering, pharmacy and nursing schools. Kinda late now, BUT I sure hope I grow up to be like them!

PS: Hope this does not offend anyone that lost thier Dad or Mom way too early.

It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
