Happy Programmers' Day! 🎉 It's celebrated on the 256th day of the year, signifying the number of distinct values in a byte 👩🏼‍💻

@nixCraft when someone asks me if I'm a developer I say "NO. I'm a programmer." heh

@nixCraft depends on the size of your byte.

Now, if you had said “octet”…

@nixCraft How many bytes does it take to finish the cake?

@nixCraft signifying the number of bugs introduced by my latest commit

@nixCraft
Actually, due to the leap year, you have an off-by-one bug. 😉

@nixCraft I thought tomorrow was progammers day.

@darkcyberman @nixCraft Off by one errors happen often, esp. in leap years.

For me it was yesterday...

@darkcyberman @nixCraft It’s a leap year in 2024, so it’s the 12th Sept.

It wouldn’t be Programmer’s Day if it didn’t have an off-by-one bug involved somehow ;)

@troberts @darkcyberman @nixCraft That would make it Tester’s Day, not Programmer’s day…

@nixCraft wonder when should be the Quantum Computer Programmer's day

@nixCraft So does Jan 1 count as 0 or 1?

@nixCraft I am a pseudo programmer who sometimes do'es stuff, but can't find a good programming language, do I count?
:p

@nixCraft Shouldn't it be on the 255th day?
