In the software development world I would suggest: knowing how to interface one's own software with existing systems to automate tasks.

I am thinking specifically about programming in pyhton/javascript/etc. and the act of requesting web pages, reading files, or databases and parsing this to quickly gather lots of available information about something. This could be a weather data scraper, reading all files from a directory to transform them, checking repeatedly if some signup for something important is open yet, pushing receipt pdfs from emails to an archive, ...

The examples all have in common that you need to know how e.g. REST/file/database access works and you can use these to gather information quickly and automatically. Knowing how to interface with common systems can save you lots of time, therefore I would see this as a productivity multiplier.
