depends, I would say it is not safe for work as it makes you question what are you doing there :)

Who solved FLT.

YouTube generally doesn't allow that

#7I've only skimmed it but Simon Singh's book on it seems reasonably accessible to non-experts
One interesting thing of FLT is Wiles is on record as saying it opened the door (I think. This is from memory) to Langlands Program, a series of mathematical connections
Harder problems of course exist, Riemann Hypothesis et al but FLT still took hundreds of years to solve

I read Singh's book a few years ago, I really enjoyed it and left with a basic understanding of the underlying math

You remember correctly. His result is a special case of Langlands.
