Damned If You Do, Damned If You Code: Verschlimmbessern
Screenshot of a tweet from the MIT CSAIL account, white text on black. It says the German word "Verschlimmbessern" means "to make something worse while repairing it," and jokes that in English we call that "software development." Good for self-deprecation, mocking buggy fixes, or programmer resignation.
