I really enjoy it - my partner and I will talk about code, I'll explain concepts and share things I'm excited about. I guess if you want more of a clear separation between your work and your home life that could be a bad thing, but being able to share what I'm passionate about with someone who understands it is a big plus to me.

Me too. I'd be really unhappy if I could only talk about my day with my husband in terms of "the computering went well" or "the computering went badly."

It's not so bad. My wife isn't very technical, so I tend to frame my day in terms of projects and the people I work with. She works in a field that I understand about as well as she understands software, so she does the same when discussing her day.
