A client asked for a tool for his website. So I built it for him and he was satisfied with the thing, cause it did what it should. Nevertheless I was not, because it kind of had a messy backend. I made it working and charged my time. Now I am wondering if I should rebuild the thing to satisfy my code quality for free, or just keep that thing as ugly as it is....

What your opinion on this?

Will you learn anything by doing it?

@Root can you do smth without learning from it? I surely never built similar things before, so I already learned a lot...

Maybe ask the client if they want to pay for making it cleaner and more maintainable?

If it works - leave it be.

If your remake adds anything useful [fixes things, makes it maintainable, etc.] and it matters to the guy - make the amends and suggest as a v2

if all of the above except it only makes YOU feel better and noone else benefits from it - make the changes and offer it as a v1.1 free of charge
