I just chastised my FB friends for not wishing me a "Happy Programmers Day". They're all feigning ignorance.

I've yet to meet a happy programmer, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.

Could be a question for leading roles, expecting to evaluate how much this person cares about keeping his troop content :)

¿Por qué no los dos?

For today, the highest budget[1] celebration I've run across: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrH8xyJG4rc

I'll have to try to find something else for 2020-10-24, but it appears Sun Wukong had a hacker's aversion to authority, so maybe that avenue will be fruitful?

What are they singing about? (EDIT: I mean what exactly. The title "I'm a hacker" and the dancers don't leave that much room for imagination.)

Well, it doesn't work for many countries that use DD/MM instead of MM/DD.

It'll work out for programmers, since most of them would prefer ISO 8601 dates [1] anyway.
