I don't think so. Rather it's that technology jobs (and others, surely) often confront frustrating, confounding, and even downright impossible tasks. The ability to identify a situation as impossible or otherwise -- to drill down to the point of conflict -- is prized, as well as the ability to keep it together mentally and keep plugging away.
