I definitely understand my own code better than what other people wrote, even from 10 years ago. I often see code and think "this makes sense to do it this way". Turns out I wrote it years ago.

That means your personal growth has plateaued. ;)
And always thinking your code from a year ago is shit means the code you write right now is also shit, so you never get good.
That's the correct attitude.
My coding style definitely has plateaued. It probably even has regressed to preferring simpler code.
But that's not a regression...
