Ask YC: What are you being for halloween?
We can have fun here, right? :-) I'm a ninja, no not a PHP ninja. At least not tonight.

If I didn't have to work tonight, I'd dress like a Ruby programmer going to a job interview:

This must be like in the Princess Bride, where they each pretend to be left-handed, so the other will underestimate them.
i see at least a little ajax in that job posting.
dude, i was almost a ninja rockstar. then i realized id be a bad job posting...
I was a gorilla, my 4-month old daughter was a monkey, and my wife was the zookeeper.
...Except we didn't get a single trick-or-treater, so I spent my time downing a bottle of two buck chuck and installing Ubuntu 8.10. :)

I dressed up as a bar code.
Or, put another way: My 2006 Google SoC t-shirt was at the top of the pile when I woke up today. :-)

Scuba diver is such a cop-out, although a very impressive one. I was too lazy to put on the whole suit last year so I was just a snorkeler, so kudos to you!
I left the tank off, and the wife wouldn't let me wear flippers while carrying the baby. But I went with the long hose, thigh pocket, harness and wing.
You'll notice I left the steel backplate at home for this one. Too lazy to lug a heavy rig down the street even without a steelie 130 on it.

Especially when you're carrying a kid!
I put on a fedora and went as the guy with a hat from XKCD.
I went out as the man with the yellow hat. My kids were a cat, Darth Vader, and a giraffe.
I was an unemployed investment banker. I wore a suit with all my shirt buttons off by one, tie hanging really loose, and a hobo sign (ripped cardboard) around my neck saying, "Jobless - Will work for food."
I wore my fencing gear, but I was fencing so I'm not sure if that qualifies as a costume per se. If I weren't broke I'd have worked my épée into a musketeer costume.
A pirate - fighting various ninjas that appeared. Some friends brought food and candy that I looted.
Black Jesus
I went as Henry Paulson, with a briefcase overflowing with bailout cash.
80's rocker with big long hair and cowboy boots.
I was a beer keg
employed.
i am being a hacker, as in, i'm lame and sitting here working on projects tonight because i can't go out.
:(
