I'm in NSW, but originally from Britain.  I don't know how old the phrase 
is, and a search of the net for its origins reveals not only that it's 
commonly used in the software industry but also that it's used 
elsewhere.  I can't remember exactly when or where I first heard it but at 
a guess I'd say it was probably 20 years ago - when I started working in IT 
in Britain, funnily enough.  Maybe it did emerge from the software 
industry, though I'd wager it's ultimate origins are more esoteric.
