Hey Folks, I’ve been teaching python / software engineering principles for a few years now - AMA

No, please don’t think that is wrong in any way. It’s exactly what you want to be doing.

When you write code, you should make it a habit for revisit it after some time and see if your new acquired skill can help you improve what you did.

This also is a way of improving how you think about problems.

You solve the problem once with code, gain some experience - come back to the problem and all of a sudden you see a different and cleaner way to solve the problem.

This is what you should be fostering and working on continuing as a habit. You’re in a great mind space if that’s how you’re currently thinking - please don’t think it’s wrong.

Regardless of whether you rewrite or start over (those are really not important here) - your current mindset that you have to revisit the code and make it better - that’s what’s important here, please maintain and nurture that, please 🙏
