your bad code is somebody else's good code.

I'd put it rather like... for any reasonable definition of "good code" and a sample that highlights the characteristic features of such good code, you will find a competent, intelligent developer that will consider it bad.

Which is more or less the same thing, except that IMHO it does not suggest that every bad code shall be "good" for someone. There's such thing as code that is universally considered as awful (but for their creators, maybe).
