If you are an iOS developer in need of an easy costume, why not honor former Apple CEO Steve Jobs? You may already have most of your costume; all it entails is a pair of jeans, glasses and a black turtleneck.

What good is Halloween without a truly scary costume? Spousal murderer and file system designer Hans Reiser makes a great Halloween costume if you’re willing to be off-color and slightly disturbing. Go with an orange prison jumpsuit and a suitcase with a fake foot or hand protruding from it. (That’s how he disposed of his wife’s body.)

Dr. Who

Sure, it may seem like an easy choice, but the Doctors come in all shapes and sizes, and there’s always a need for a companion, who also comes in all shapes and sizes. We prefer the Tom Baker Doctor (No.4 ) because it necessitates the purchase of a 20-foot scarf.

An oldie but a goodie. Halloween is all about classic costumes, and this is about as classic a computing reference as you can make nowadays.

Octocat

GitHub’s beloved mascot is a great way to dress up for Halloween. Remember, Octocat has quite a few costumes, so you could really dress as anything plus the Octocat head and tentacles.
