This happens to all programmers for a couple of reasons. First, we quite
often have our hands tied on some of the methods we would like to use (i.e.
a client tells you that you CANT use stored procedures, even though
everything you (and other programmers) know about the
I can't imagine that anybody is happy with everything they have
ever coded and if they are they must not be progressing and learning.
I think the question is have you ever gone back and modified
something for an old client without charging him out of embarassmanet?

Heck yeah. I look at old code and ask myself what I was smoking when I
wrote it all the time. I think we all do. The importance is realizing
that ... you did it and you accept that it's wrong and you learn from it.

And... figure out how to market from your mistakes. ;) Make a
I have always heard that no matter what, there will be 2 programmers
that look at and edit your code; the programmer you were when you wrote
the code and the programmer you are now. With every project you will
probably get a little better, even with a couple years experience under
your belt...
huh, the code i wrote last week.i could now write better...everyday
i'm involved in CF-Talk, my code gets better amd my career is better for
it.

Well uh... yes, I think I could safely say that you represent the
experience of most all of us. Since there is a short time span between
learning a little cf and then doing something useful it's a safe bet
that most CF folks write a lot of bad code in the beginning... unless they

Was there anything that you guys have built for past clients that you now
know could have been coded better?
The day I will stop having that kind of feeling I will start worrying :-)

Yes. Everything ;D You learn something new every day.
That post by Bryan Love a few days back on record locking got me thinking, and with a
couple of minor additions became a pretty cool lo-overhead locking tool. Never had
one of those in CF before.
Happy Friday,
you wrote your code. That's what separates the code
monkeys from the architects.

I think a good part of a lot of businesses is modifying, upgrading or
rewriting other people's code. One man's best attempt/success is another
man's frustration. :)

There are a bunch of apps that I would write differently, too. If there
weren't any, *then* there would be a *big* problem. It's important that you
keep learning and applying what you learn to how you do your job. That's one
of the reasons programming is considered a profession and not a craft
Yes, everything. Everyone looks back at their code and finds where you can
improve. But you have deadlines to meet which pay your bills. This is real
world code not academic code.
