Have to ask: what's the app? If it something thats not only popular buy well thought of -- well, you can always mention in an interview how you're unhappy with it and how you'd improve it today. Most programmers - myself included - look at things we did last year, two years ago, etc and think "how awful is this?". I've yet to meet someone who doesn't.

I'm usually questioning the code I wrote 15 minutes ago.

  Eventually you will be able to regret the quality of the code before you have even written it! (Sadly, this is not just induction applied to this thread. Not doing the best you can is a key to productivity.)

    True! The real problem there is, if you regret it enough before you write it, you might talk yourself out of writing it to begin with...

      The best code is no code?? ;)

        The less code you have to write, the less there is for you to slowly start to loathe having around.

    Procrastination, anyone? :) I sometimes have to force myself to write it down at all.
