Yes, but only with a fairly small share of the code I've written in the past. Most of the code I've written is nowhere near as good as it could be; some of it is embarrassing.

By the way, for me this happens with all forms of creative/original endeavors, not just with coding: Sometimes I read and admire passages I wrote in clear, lucid English in the past. Sometimes I look at and admire mathematical equations I wrote in the past (even if I'm no longer as well-acquainted with them as when they were fresh in my mind). Sometimes I look at and admire diagrams I sketched in the past, e.g., for a research project.
