If I'm working on a homework assignment, yes I go over it a few times and clean it up.

If I'm working on our startup, I often google / copy+paste, whatever gets the job done. If I find myself struggling to make it work how I want or I'm spending more time fighting with the code than I'd prefer, I go back and refactor the code.

Yeah, google comes to the rescue more often than not, but I also believe that such code that we put in leads to hacks which may bloat up as messy in the grand scheme of design/structure. For me a good code is something that has proper structure, good mechanism for communication between related modules and maybe, free from hacks :)
