> I lost my camera, the laptop is upside down for better cooling

It’s funny because I wonder how some coworkers can be so incompetent. And I work with programmers so it always seemed weird that someone who is generally competent would have continual tech problems.

I’m not a fan of radical candor, but I’ll say “I just don’t feel like being on camera right now” as I think that’s better than feigned incompetence.
