So, to turn it around, what in the current day is schlep work par excellence? A few things stick out like very sore thumbs.

* AWS permissions management, and IAM in general.

* Data cleansing and data governance at scale.

* IoT costing and specifications.

* Rural broadband, in all its forms and associated problems. This one is especially close to the heart for me in Wisconsin.

* Negotiate best offers on service renewal.
