All great code started out as a shitty work-around that happened to work.

(I say this as someone with one of the more prestigious pedigrees in "not writing shit code". All the theory I've learned helps, but at the end of the day the most important qualities of a line of code are: whether it got the job done, and whether is was obviously correct enough that the next developer left it alone.)
