You'll have to define what you mean by better, and to whom. And how you measure the goodness of code. The user or client only cares that software does what it's supposed to do. The author of the code may feel they could have done better. The programmer who has to maintain it may curse the author for writing bad code. "Good" code that doesn't do what it's expected to do or crashes or loses data is bad no matter how beautiful the code is.
