To quote myself from 2 years ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2990507):

Degrees in computer science and computer engineering are in the top 10 for average earnings. We get to build all kinds of cool stuff used by people around the world. For many of us, programming is fun. And we get paid to do it!

Every day is programmer's day.

For the majority of programmer's, it's just a stressful 9-to-5 job.

You put the apostrophe in the wrong place.

And you saved me the trouble of pointing out that very thing :-)

The 13th falls on a Friday this year. An omen?

It's nice as a footnote, but in the end it's just a trivial observance that has no real significance. I don't treat it as any different from a regular day.

Did you really think there were parades and celebrations held?

For comparison, in the United States there are secular holidays for a variety of positions such as Administrative Assistants Day, Boss's Day, SysAdmin Day, etc...
