If it has a concept of data sources and can digest them, sure.
Anecdotally, most issues with Excel at my job are caused by data sources being renamed, moved or reformatted, by broken logins, or by insufficient access rights.
It's a bit like saying from HR employees that they don't recruit/fire people after hours, for fun.
Or surgeons don't operate after hours.
Software developer is a job with really weird expectations from outsiders. Show me your GitHub! Show me your side projects! You can't be good if you are not passionate even after a day's work!
Devs must have high IQs, have autistic traits, a university degree, master algorithms and several programming paradigms and are expected to simultaneously be able to integrate well in any team with average people, while science already identified that this is more difficult for such people...
I don't know man, my parents are surgeons and they're just as much vocateurs as I am. I have come home from football to see a surgical video on the TV. I cannot imagine being something else. Why would I not care about my primary thing? My wife is a creative director and she draws and paints in her spare time.
There's all kinds of people in the world and I like to work with vocateurs. That's an opt-in choice and others can go work with others. No harm done.
Sure, but there's no single person that believes engineers must be all those things, you're conflating many opinions to form an impossible litmus test. In reality as the GP pointed out: great engineers don't all fit the same mold, and frankly neither do all jobs and hiring manager expectations.
One of the best software design books I've read is "Domain Modelling Made Functional", from Scott Wlaschin.
It's about F#, but it remains a good read for any software programmer, whatever your language.
And it's easily understandable, you can almost read it like a novel, without focusing too much.
Though what may need some brains is applying the functional concepts of this book with your favourite language...
This may have multiple causes (past experience/trauma, energy levels, existing depression, sleep troubles, anything on the spectrum of autism, like ADHD...).
As far as energy levels go, if you are already tired, you may lack energy to cope with stressful situations, which leads you to procrastinate or even sleep too just not face it.
From personal experience, low (just below the lower limit, so nothing seemingly dramatic) vitamin D levels may affect one's energy levels negatively (always tired, brain fog, everything feels hard...), and having appropriate vitamin D levels may already provide one with a clear mind and remove the hardship of dealing with most of what others consider as seemingly simple situations.
You might be depressed because of low energy levels, instead of the other way around.
So, make sure your energy levels are appropriate and that your mitochondria work fine. (Any LLM will provide you with detailed info about energy levels and mitochondria).
Of course, that's only based on personal experience, and I'm a software engineer, not a Doctor.
