#32So are we supposed to take a holiday from programming on programmers day, or double our efforts and do more programming? Or just drink a lot after work?
Yes.

#34What is the point in having such _days_? Consequently, shouldn't we also have a Scientists' day, an Actors' day, a Plumbers' day, blah blah? Everyone has a place in the universe. All we have to do is never to forget our true calling.
It varies country by country, but I'm pretty sure you'll find various aspects of humanity being celebrated on specific days (women, father/mother, workers, and so on), sometimes even at the UN level (i.e. theoretically worldwide). The point is to get mainstream attention to the achievements and problems of specific and necessary roles which would otherwise be mostly overlooked.
In some cases the celebration is named after the activity (e.g. fighting cancer), but meaning is exactly the same -- would calling it "Programming Day" suit you better?

#35Born on Programmers' Day, I feel like the night I was born, a falling star killed the village elder.
Surely in a time where Programmers' Day has any meaning, the status of village elders has somewhat passed.

#38Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes, that's point. 0 and 1. No day 0, so make it day 1.
You're just taunting us that the year isn't zero-indexed! You could at least have the decency to hide it from us like Oracle[1]. [1] http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/functions/substr.php
Wow, that was upsetting to read.

#39Traditional programmers day celebration in Bulgaria:
- Write meaningless programs
- Play games
- Drink beer
Same as most other days actually.
