Shields opened my eye to a fascinating new potential shape of project.

Sometimes a project depends on hundreds of even thousands of custom integrations. Think about a something like TripIt - it works by accepting forwarded emails from different travel reservation sites, but that means somebody has to write hundreds of custom email parsers for those sites and then update them on a continuous basis.
