I see your point, this is kind of a chicken and egg type of problem. I love that there are some original translations for words in Finnish which are not straight finglish, and one of my all-time favorites is "ikikieriö" (eternal loop in Finnish). We should have more of those. Should we start coming up with translations for words that don't have any? I would be happy to help to suggest some 😇
Funny/inventive ones are sometimes good when they describe the concept better than a direct translation or finglish. But perhaps those translations don't catch on if they require understanding the underlying concept first (instead of the translation explaining/clarifying the concept).
I'll have to investigate for proper resources, but I just found this project in GitHub: github.com/HankiDesign/IT-sanasto (most likely a one-man project but a nice collection of terms nevertheless)
A more official resource for IT terminology etc. is Sanastokeskus: tsk.fi/tsk/ termipankki.fi/tepa/fi/
