Software developers experience this daily, except without the fun drinking and partying parts.

  • write code & check it in
  • go home
  • maybe get some sleep, maybe
  • go to work the next day
  • get mad at whoever checked in that code

The worst code I have ever seen, the truly horrible stuff that gives me nightmares was written by myself six months ago.

Oof, six months ago code is the worst. It's still close enough to your current style that it's undeniably yours and you can vaguely remember writing it, but long enough ago that you've improved a decent amount since then. So the mistakes or bad practice hurts the maximum amount.

I have this same feeling when I make music. When I go look at my old projects I barely recognize them. Organization goes a loooooong way.
