As long as you're learning, old code will make you cringe, though it gets subtler over time.
Though, sometimes things turned out rough because I was too impatient to learn the right way (especially for one-off programs).
My favorite example is when I didn't know how loops worked in PHP, so I wrote an ActionScript program that generated hundreds of lines of PHP instead...
