Watch as this becomes an interview question.
Could be a question for leading roles, expecting to evaluate how much this person cares about keeping his troop content :)

It'll work out for programmers, since most of them would prefer ISO 8601 dates [1] anyway. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
We'd have to include the year in that case. That would mean we'd celebrate Programmer's Day on 33519519824856492748 93506249551461531869 84145514809834443089 03609304410075183867 44200468574541725856 92250796454662151271 34384707029866424866 0841225152-10-24 (2^510), 10972248137587377366 51187250237441854014 87852718646641402240 03976912394763519345 89433035139907272558 72265694506757442234 89916367725489295806 44820…
This comment makes my HN uncomfortably wide.

I added some spaces among the digit sequences for you.

#15I want Chinese programmer's day!
¿Por qué no los dos? For today, the highest budget[1] celebration I've run across: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrH8xyJG4rc I'll have to try to find something else for 2020-10-24, but it appears Sun Wukong had a hacker's aversion to authority, so maybe that avenue will be fruitful? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_King#Havoc_in_Heaven [1] https://101zabava.club/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/pozdravlen... left pan…

What are they singing about? (EDIT: I mean what exactly. The title "I'm a hacker" and the dancers don't leave that much room for imagination.)

Excellent question. I rely heavily on machine translation, and while auto-subtitling on YouTube is misleading for speech, it's atrocious for song[1]. Maybe we'll get some native speakers to answer by tomorrow?
[1] this is a parody, so no published lyrics. The original tune was italian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM63xMU6FEc .

Good point. In the spirit of https://xkcd.com/927/ I propose we add "european programmer's day", celebrated on 5.12 (Dag Sinterklaasje)?
Let's all meet here again. I'll bring a bottle or two of Pastis 512 (unfortunately adjusted with magic marker instead of a hex editor) and we can blast Dylan Beattie and the Linebreakers:
