I know it might be a little late for some of you, but…

```auto
var year:Number = new Date().getFullYear();
var programmersDay:Date = new Date(year, 0, 256);
var today:Date = new Date();

if (programmersDay.getDate() == today.getDate() && programmersDay.getMonth() == today.getMonth()) {
    trace("Happy Programmer's Day!");
}

```
