Day of the Programmer

When:
🗓️ the 256th day
of the year

Where:
🌐 Everywhere

Since:
2002

Created by Valentin Balt & Michael Cherviakov in 2002

On September 11, 2009, then president of Russia Dmitry Medvedev signed the decree to make Day of the Programmer an official holiday

Whether you’re a front-end developer, a back-end wizard, or somewhere in between, we can all celebrate the Day of the Programmer united by our love for all things code.
Programmers’ Day is celebrated on the 256th (hexadecimal 100th, or the 28th) day of each year.
The number 256 is the highest number that a byte can have, which makes sense in the the hexadecimal system used for counting digital data
(In simple terms, this is September 13 during common years and on September 12 in leap years)

“Writing the first 90 percent of a computer program
takes 90 percent of the time.
The remaining ten percent
also takes 90 percent of the time
and the final touches also take 90 percent of the time.”

(N.J. Rubenking)
