his very first program

Who's very first program? The sysadmin or powerruser? Neither of them are likely to make programs, and idk why anyone would bring a printout of a program to a sysadmin to inspect.

I can't tell if this is self-deprecation of sysadmin or a PEBCAK joke.

This likely originates from the Before Times when universities would have a full time sysadmin who would often write some of the software for the computer system/network at the university. See Bastard Operator From Hell for an example.

Who's very first program

Indeed, who IS very first? Is any of us really first?

As native speaker of English: English is stupid

I'll tell you who isn't first (in my heart); the Angles. Nor are any of their descendants.
