It was me ... several times I have found a bug or code smell and then been surprised that the I was the original author. For the last fifteen to twenty years, I've generally found looking at code I wrote six months ago equally distasteful. So now my default behavior is to assume the code met the business function at the time, acknowledge that I'm continuously improving in my craft and finally, gained a joy in spending part of my time doing maintenance programming.
