Serious question. We had a perfectly serviceable word, yet everyone decided to shift. Is it just that it’s shorter to type?
If so, I feel for your colleagues trying to parse your code when all your variables use abbreviations.

Iirc it kinda started getting used interchangeably in the 60s but spawned from the term/name Fortran automatic coding systems… I def would need to hit my search engine of choice and do some digging however. As for the mass public usage sometime 2010ish? With all that learn to code and code.org stuff coming into the mainstream.
Cool. I’m drunk and don’t care to do any digging, so if you’d like to do that on my behalf …
