You are probably right. But also in this field I have found a lot, and I mean A LOT, of one-uppers. When the annoying bug appears, everybody is busy and everything other than the bug is top priority. Then you bite the bullet, fight the bug, and eventually get it fixed. Suddenly the one-uppers show up, ask you "what was it?", and whatever you answer they already suspected it as soon as they read the symptoms, and explain why your solution is suboptimal. I remember the time that I "solved" a slow database query that was annoying everybody for weeks just by creating an index. Everybody was avoiding the issue like the plague, probably out of fear that it was something serious, but after I created the index (something all of them could do in their sleep), one-uppers showed up to 1) claim that "it was obviously a bad index" and 2) that the index I created could be done better. My point is that claiming "I knew it" adds absolutely nothing. Claiming that it could be solved in 5 minutes or in a better way, adds even less, turning a moment of deserved proudness into fuel for your imposter syndrome. What really adds is fixing the bug and write a beautiful post explaining the process.
