    • Simeon: I think it is certainly a role of CC to help balance the immediate functional needs with long term aspirations. We have cut many corners to get to functional now and accumulated lots of technical debt that makes the vision harder to realize. Agree with Dracine that our desires are bigger than our pocket books
