Question What's an example of a problem where the mapping between work and data isn't very clear? Just wanted to hear about some cool examples.

How about a chess bot? I think it's basically just computation (the only data that might be involved will be an endgame tablebase, an opening book and a repetition table I guess...)

Perhaps another example would be client code for loading a website with many elements (media elements that requests json objects from other websites, forms awaiting user input, dynamic placement of divs etc.)? In this case it is not at all clear how to partition data so it would be preferable to single out the costly computations and try to partition them.
