I would propose just making a "DevOps Day" as Sysadmins, Developers and DevOps are very different roles and ways of solving problems. Sysadmins should be able to keep their day. [1] Developers also have their own day. [2] Some do shift or evolve into each others roles to varying degrees and some do not. Without going into a long drawn out explanation of the differences that do still exist I believe that each have a distinct set of expectations and responsibilities and each provide significant contributions to an organizations needs and each come with a distinct mind-set. The only downside is that DevOps Day might get confused with DevOps Days [3] Or consider thinking of it this way, DevOps already have the two days linked below.[1][2]

All of this said, I think that people should consider changing or redirecting that wiki page for "Day of the Programmer" to "Day of the Developer" maybe.
