When your wife instantly diagnoses the REAL problem like a senior developer reviewing your pull request. Meimei (the kid) couldn't lock the door, and instead of assuming the door is broken like a normal person would, wife immediately goes full root-cause-analysis mode: "....is something wrong with the door?"
But our programmer hero? Nah, straight to the REAL issue: "User error on the 12 year old." Because let's be honest, 99% of bug reports are just PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair). The door works FINE, the API is FLAWLESS, the code is PERFECT—it's always the user who doesn't know how to lock a door properly.
This is the energy of every developer who's ever had to explain to someone that turning it off and on again actually DOES solve the problem. She gets it. She truly gets it. Relationship goals, honestly.
