This is an invitation to revive the “Programmers’ Day” since programmers and developers all over the world never get the appreciation nor the credit for their contributions to societies, those should stand up respecting what programmers are doing to serve them, I’m pretty sure most of programmers doesn’t need appreciation because they believe in what they’re doing to raise science and they know that their work is well appreciated by their colleagues and almost users.

In Russia the day is a professional holiday since 2009, this year 2010 the day is 13^th of September.

According to Wikipedia the “Programmers’ Day” chosen to be the 256^th day of the year because the number 256 (2⁸) was chosen because it is the number of distinct values that can be represented with an eight-bit byte—a number that is typically very well known to programmers. Also, ’256′ in hexadecimal is ’100′ (’0×100′), and it’s the highest power of two that is lower than 365 (the number of days in a year)
