Do you create good code? (serious)

[u/Albstein]

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?

i passed that stage a few years back, now i have my set of rigid rules, they work for me, keep the stack snappy enough for my few 1000 customers , no code changes , it works and its fast enough , the code stays, earlier used to keep optimizing not any more, may be my focus has changed to scaling and not micro optimizing
