I would go even further than that. Any developer who claims he never writes bad code is either lying, ignorant or living in a fantasy world. The thing is, as J.P. points out, is that good developers will try to minimize the amount of bad code that they write, and when they do, that they try to get rid of it as soon as they can. But if those developers are so good, then why do they occasionally write bad code in the first place?

Isn't this the reason we refactor? We try to solve the problem any-which-way we can--at first--then we try to go back and make it look pretty, well organized, and somewhat efficient.
