How developers celebrate Halloween
What are developers dressing up as for Halloween this year? And what is it that programmers are most scared of?
It’s that time of year again, when developers emerge from the deep, dark crypts of DevOps to scare the normal world with obscure programming references and nerd jokes. What is it that is terrifying the developer community this Halloween?
No scarefest would be complete without a hollowed out pumpkin. But you can’t frighten a real techie with just a scary face…
Probably the most scariest sight in modern society. I concur! #Halloween pic.twitter.com/oJGWfjPAOL

Low battery? What could be scarier to a developer that the thought of no internet?
This could be the most terrifying pumpkin carving I’ve ever seen! #Halloween pic.twitter.com/fUvhrRTCfX — Mike Clarke (@Mr_Mike_Clarke) October 30, 2014
And make sure throw in some Star Wars reference for good measure.

Developer costumes
Several trick-or-treaters have decided to dress up as developers for Halloween. Genius or lazy?
Can I wear a gray or black hoodie, worn out jeans and tennis shoes tomorrow and be a developer for Halloween tomorrow?

Happy Halloween! My costume this year is Sexy Software Developer. Again. — Kevin Siekierski (@KevinSiekierski) October 31, 2014
Some developers are getting more specific with their tech outfits.
For Halloween, I’m dressing as a Go developer. Now just need to find a high horse…

Meanwhile some IT teams are struggling to stay agile during Halloween.

Finally, it wouldn’t be a good Halloween without feeling nauseous after binge-eating all your trick-or-treated booty (or binge drinking at the company party). But what better way to bring post-Halloween nausea into the 21st century than with an Oculus Rift?
Ahh damn it!! Who let the pumpkin play on the Oculus again?! #happyhalloween #pumpkin #pumpkincarving #oculus pic.twitter.com/dV2OQEqieK — blue-zoo animation (@blue_zoo) October 30, 2014
