Unskilled labor. Unskilled labor is there to execute a solution. Programmers (and others) are expected to innovate. Its important to remember that instead of simply cranking out code for the facet of the problem that happens to be immediately in front of you.
Other than that, whenever I did unskilled work I had to solve problems like: what to do if too many guests show up and you have too few chairs, because management calculated the wrong amount of people showing up?
Potential solution: get more chairs.
Alright, but how will you make it look aesthetically pleasing? The place is full!
Solution: ask some people to stand.
But some will politely stand, and will then have a bad taste in their mouth of the experience.
So on and so forth.
