My code starts and stays embarrassingly bad until I need to refactor it. Eventually, the code improves. Very often, though, it gets thrown out entirely. Only profitable code deserves to be good. Caveat: The above applies to my own business projets where I am the sole coder. I write better code for clients - it still starts out rough, but I refactor more frequently.
