As a software engineer, I need a word for this. I find myself writing code which is at once fugly (not to be shown to anyone) but also somewhat clever and surprising (at least I think so).
Sample sentence: Damn, this code is _____!

To @Jim's comment: You couldn't plug in "Damn, this code is disgust and pride", so the example sentence doesn't work. Do you mean something like "code that may make one feel a combination of disgust and pride" or "Damn, this code fills me with feelings of ____." Edit accordingly and the close votes will likely to lifted.
