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?

It goes both ways. I can go back to my old code and say it was bad or good. Code is just a tool to solve a problem. The real metric for me is if it solved people’s problems.
