There have been a few times that I've really admired code that I wrote ... it happened way more often building embedded systems where I was short on processor cycles and memory.
But I'll also comment on the opposite (which I attribute to continually trying to improve my craft). Often when I look at code I wrote >6 months ago, I find something that I'd do differently today. Sometimes it's downright distasteful!
