You can't beat yourself up too much over code you wrote in the past, especially if you're just starting and you learn from your mistakes.

I'm the only dev at my company, so most of the code was written by an external dev a while back. They very occasionally do some work for us still and their code written today is just a shitty as it was 4 years ago.
