How to say "workaround/quick-and-dirty hack" in Japanese in the context of
computer programming?

ALC says 次善策 for "workaround" but of course it does not convey the sense of
dirtiness/fragility/speed I am looking for.

Context: quick email about a software feature, to my superior, with whom I am
on very friendly terms but still use -ます form for instance.

How to say "workaround/quick-and-dirty hack"
I don't know if it's used specifically in programming, but やっつけ仕事 might give
the sense you want. I wouldn't use it a formal context. There's always the
all-purpose 臨機応変のX, which you probably could use formally.

I use the jargon word (ダーティ)ハック！ Simple and direct.

You could also say something like 適当な解決方法、適当なやり方
