Interesting opinion. I have that experience often enough when I look at rusty old code of mine. But I always was under the impression, that this is something of a problem, not a good sign...

Definitely a good sign. It even extends to other areas besides programming; as a non-native English speaker, at some point I was happy that I didn't really need to use the dictionary anymore. Then I realized that it actually meant that I wasn't pushing my boundaries enough and I started picking up more difficult books and learning Japanese (:
