I've read that and think the saying is fundamentally wrong. If you're constantly embarrassed at code that is only a year old, I think it's much more likely that you are chasing fads rather than actually improving your code quality. I would go as far as to say that it's a negative signal, because instead of improving code quality you are just changing things that don't really matter.
