There's no real reason for it to annoy me so much, but I was just thinking about how I can't stand when people seemingly randomly capitalize words relating to technology without the intention of drawing emphasis to them: GIT, NODE, JIRA, JAVA... why??

In the case of Jira, it was in the past officially stylised by Atlassian as JIRA.

I think people sometimes like to imagine that these things are acronyms even though they aren't.

I think people sometimes JUST do it for NO good reason other than to DRAW emphasis
