I don't think there's an "in-group" of frat-bro programmers who actually talk like this in real life. Everyone I've met has just been doing it as a joke. At least, this seems very common in the Ruby/Rails community. There's a whole ton of weird gem names, and people just being silly in general [1]. And it's not a recent [2] thing [3], by any means.

(P.S. TIL about `$ fortune | cowsay -f head-in`. Hahaha I hadn't seen that before.)

I don't think it's an IRL issue really either. Recently there was that uber article. But in general I don't really see it or it's usually exaggerated.

People have been making jokes since the beginning of time.
