There's that, but I usually think "Man I must've been really unfocused or otherwise distracted to write it like this" but then analyzing it, it starts make total sense.
But there's also the opposite. Code where I can't believe I was so smart to write. And then I remember that I can solve any problem if I keep attacking it time and again and tune my brain to it.
My performance is like a wave, sometimes I'm riding it, sometimes I'm being overwhelmed by it.
Starting code changes, notice some bad code, wonder who the hell wrote that crap, have to find that nasty person.
Fire up 'git blame', check code lines in question, "oh that was me, seems it is not that bad after all".
