I'm near 60 and the code I wrote 5 years ago is crap. 5 years ago I thought the code I wrote 10 years ago is crap. 10 years ago I thought the code I wrote 15 years ago is crap. Etc.
About the only positive thing I can say about code I wrote in my 20s is it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Heh. I knew a variant of this as "if you look at the code you wrote six months ago and don't ask 'who's the idiot who wrote this crap?', you're not learning fast enough" :)
