alt Hacker NewsIsn't it common to refer to all software like that? "Let my look at my JIRA", "I can't find anything using my Outlook's search function", "My Powerpoint is acting up today", "My browser just crashed" are all sentences I might say during a normal work day

better than "The JIRA" , or "The Google" or "The Spotify"
Depends on the demographic I think. And also tells you surprisingly much about how the brain of person uttering it works.
There are people that almost feel physical pain if something is unnecessarily incorrect.
+ That if the mental model of something is accurate, it is actually _more_ work to say something that is incorrect than just saying the correct thing.
