(Programmer is working. / Programmer is celebrating the programmers' day)
хорошо... каждый день, день программиста (I have no idea if that's right, but I was playing with google translate)
Replace "," with "—", and you got it right.

No.
[UPD]: Disambiguation: this holiday has no meaning to the ordinary Russians.
Not much (as any other professional day - reclamation expert's day, railwayman's day, etc), but we're working on it!
Just to clarify: it's an official Programmer's Day today in Russia, but it's not a day off. There are all kinds of X's Day-s for many values of X there.
