  It's a great sign as long as code you wrote 6 months ago is better than code you wrote 12 months ago--it means you're getting better and learning.

Like most personal things, it probably looks worse to you than it does to someone else. The fact that you are self-conscience about it, likely means you have enough awareness to prevent you from becoming overconfident in your skills.

  For what it's worth, I expect people to have that opinion about their (older) code samples. If you get the feeling that people are judging you by the poorer sections of your code sample, speak up! Start telling them what you think is wrong with it. They might not be worth working for if they don't listen to that.

  Obviously i cannot show something i'm currently working on Is this obvious? It's not like photographers don't have a portfolio of past project that they use to showcase their work. Unless you code under an NDA, of course.
