It happens to me as well. I sometimes think : 'oh I already did this. That was very well thought'. Unfortunately I can't share this feeling with me 6 months ago.
The times when the code is painful to read is when I write scripts that are supposed to be used once and turn out to be reused several times (but not very often) and when the specs were not really well defined at the beginning of the project.
Admittedly I am data scientist not SWE and it is hard to compare the complexity of SQL code to the one of a programming language.
