This feels like calling someone a "moron" and then when they get offended saying "You shouldn't be offended, literally everyone is a moron because nobody is competent in everything".
What is the gain exactly in using language (like "embarrassing") that discourages mistakes and makes people feel worse about being wrong (even if they technically shouldn't). Plenty of better words exist.
Side note, I would definitely feel embarrassed if someone publicly called my code "embarrassing". Even if I shouldn't.
