Piggy-backing off the Zenni question, what about Warby Parker?

Hi there Stephen, thanks for doing this! I have a light fixture in my bathroom that was recently recalled with a hazard of "The internal wires in the lights can be damaged, posing an electric shock hazard to the consumer."

The cost of labor, buying a new fixture, etc. isn't insignificant, so I'm wondering if this actually poses a risk to us to actually combust or create a fire or anything. I'm sure the advice will be to replace this, but I'm curious - Does this actually pose any active threat or risk to my family or if this is just the manufacturer covering their rears?

Thank you!

Here is a link to the recall

What's your biggest area of stress on the back end or technical side of things?

It seems that most information out there seems to point at there being a lack of cloud deployed in the financial world, in favor of relatively antiquated on-prem environments. While there are some things on cloud, there are certainly optimizations and/or cost cutting opportunities out there that would be great options for wall street.

The biggest challenge seems to be data tenancy and security, but there have been huge strides made over the last couple of years.

Just curious how it affects what you do, or what you'd like to see improved from a "kit" or workstation perspective, whether it's software, speed, etc.

Thanks!

Saw you in a bar playing darts one time. Didn't want to bug you, but Phil West said we would hang out next time he's in the city. No question, take it easy!
