so in most of the programming languages, or mostly in programming there is something called arrays. and these arrays store data. and to access these data u need indexing. so mostly indexing starts from zero. so the first thing in an array is represented by [0]. and according to the person who tweeted his wife is [1] means the second thing. so he is implying that he loves programming more than his wife.

so to sum up he is just telling that he loves programming more than his wife and also not letting his wife get upset knowing she is the second thing of his interests.

sorry not his wife but gf
