In the 80s. If you look at what your examples have in common, you'll notice you've heard it in the 80s.

Too bad 80s nostalgia is all the hype nowadays, but at least this seems to be passing in other subcultures. I really hope it passes in software development too.

only one of the ones i linked is from the 80s. i think you'll find the majority are from the 50s.
