(ref:captionasmaselfie) A *Coding Your Future* studio selfie, a slightly noisier location than normal. I'm hiding behind Asma because I had an ugly black eye which I'd picked up from one of those vertical steel girders they have in the middle (yes, the *middle*!) of the walkways of the [Alan Turing Building](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing_Building). Thank you architects! 🤕
