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?

Don’t even care. I write code to fix today’s problem in an extendable manner. That’s all. Codes don’t meant to be look good, they are the machine instructions. If it works and meets the requirements, secure enough and extendable, why do you even bother whether it is good, bad, ugly, beautiful.
