“This is of course a fully static solution, and it’s pretty ugly and a
botch to maintain.” In this case, the correct word would be bitch, but considering the difficulty of maintenance, something is bound to become botched, so a “botch to maintain” is appropriate.

some forums won’t let you use words like “bitch,” so maybe “botch” has become that person’s workaround?
And of course, “i” and “o” are contiguous on the keyboard.
But I like it anyway!
