Happy Programmer's Day!

Celebrating the 256th day of the year, one line of Java at a time

Today is the 256th day of the year: Programmer’s Day.

Why 256? Because it is 2^8, a familiar number for anyone who spends time turning ideas into code and bugs into… different bugs.

import java.time.LocalDate;

void main() {
  if (LocalDate.now().getDayOfYear() == 256) {
    IO.println("Happy Programmer's Day!");
  }
}

May your code compile on the first try, your tests stay green, and your production logs remain boring.

Happy Programmer’s Day!
