The day of the programmer, celebrated now on the 256th day of the year, September 13 (in non-leap day years), honors programmers and development associates who transform ideas into reality with modern applications and DevOps practices. Their special day was chosen because 256 is the highest power of two that is less than 365 (the number of days in a year), and this number reflects the distinct values that can be represented with an 8-bit byte.
Programmers Day is designed to celebrate the ingenuity of our programmers who, in most cases, are oblivious to the purpose of the day. Why? Because they are busy explaining why it is an undocumented feature and not a bug. Jokes aside, every department in our organization benefits from a programmer's work. The programmer's tasks range from developing the applications we use on our devices, and the features on the websites we review daily, to debugging, testing and deploying constant updates, across modern application development cycles. Their efforts often involve sleepless nights, error-checking, and hours of debugging to ensure optimum application performance and memorable end-user experiences.
As a leading application performance monitoring solution vendor, we are committed to helping modern application developers succeed in delivering flawless applications. Our solution provides in-depth code level visibility into application performance, and real-time insights into the performance of its underlying infrastructure, be it on-premises or in the cloud. We are committed to helping programmers change our day-to-day lives with smooth and highly functional applications. To celebrate the heroes who eat, sleep, code, and repeat, ManageEngine wishes them a Happy Day of the Programmer.
Today, our distinguished programmers, let us take a break from arguments, algorithms, conditions, and code compilations. We have a few activities lined up for you. Take a chill pill and bring your "Game on!" to stand a chance to win a Gift card worth $25.
