How do IDEs factor into this theory? It's easy to make pretty code these days in a variety of languages without actually writing it yourself. The other factor that comes into play is time to implement. Most startups are always in crunch mode of one type or another. Everything needs to be done last week, so getting it done quick is more important than getting it done right (this is the manager's viewpoint, not mine, but it is a popular one). So you do it and you tell yourself you'll fix it later, but later comes and you're on to the next deadline, so it never gets re-written. Are you a bad programmer? I appreciate the idea of beautiful code, but it doesn't survive contact with the real world, especially if the real world is running scrum.
