Today is Programmer Day, my professional holiday! Officially, Russia Programmer's Day was first celebrated on September 11, 2009, when Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree that sets a new official Russian professional holiday. According to this document, Programmer's Day will be celebrated in Russia every 256th day of year.
The number 256 was chosen because it is the number of integers that can be expressed using a single eight-byte. This date has long since become an unofficial holiday of people who tied his career with their career with computer programming.
