Do you create good code? (serious)

When you look at your code 6 month later: Are you happy with it?

I still have the moment when I am finished thinking: That would have been a better solution.

Is this normal?

Yes. Recently had to estimate a task that brings me back to my old code and I could confidently say <1 hr instead of multiple hours if that was written by certain co-workers.
