Actually when I have to modify my old codebase I am usually pleasantly surprised and it is much more tidy than I am expecting it to be. It's an amazing feeling when you read your own code and go "wow, I wrote that, what a nice way of doing that".
I am not really sure what that says about me... maybe my expectations are too pessimistic on average...
