# (PART) CODING YOUR FUTURE {-}

# Hearing Your Future {#hearing}

*Hearing Your Future* is the Coding Your Future podcast which accompanies this guidebook. We talk to [graduands](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/graduand) and graduates of computer science, see figure \@ref(fig:collage-fig), to hear more about their journey from student to professional. As part of their [exit interview](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit_interview) we ask them what happens after graduation? What comes next?

* Do you consider yourself to be a member of an under-represented, minority or otherwise marginalised group?
* If so which one(s) are you happy to discuss, see section \@ref(protected)?
* What has your experience been of being in a minority at University and in the workplace?
* How can the teaching and learning of computer science be made more [equitable, diverse and inclusive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity,_equity,_and_inclusion) for members of your minority group(s)?
* What else can universities do to make campuses more welcoming to members of your minority group(s)?
* What more can employers do to make workplaces more welcoming to members of your minority group(s)?

(ref:captionminority) Are you in a minority?  Inspired by the book [@theminorityreport] and its film adaptation [@minorityreport], we'll hear from some of our minorities. *The Minority Report* is short story by Philip K. Dick first published by *[Fantastic Universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantastic_Universe)* magazine in 1956. What is it like being in a minority and how could universities and employers be more welcoming to your minority group(s)?

If you're in a minority that you're happy to talk about, do you have anything you'd like to report? ✊🏽

### You are the next Vice Chancellor {#vc}
This is a thought experiment, see figure \@ref(fig:vc-fig). Imagine that the [board of governors](https://www.manchester.ac.uk/discover/governance/structure/board-governors/) and [senate of the University of Manchester](https://www.manchester.ac.uk/discover/governance/structure/senate/) had appointed you (instead of [Duncan Ivison](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Ivison)) to succeed [Nancy Rothwell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Rothwell) as Vice Chancellor. As VC, you now have responsibility for: 

* 11,000 staff
* 40,000 students
* a global network of over 500,000 alumni. 

You'll also take over as chair of the [russellgroup.ac.uk](https://russellgroup.ac.uk/). Since this is an optional question, you can dodge this bullet if you'd rather not attempt to answer it.

```{r vc-fig, echo = FALSE, fig.align = "center", out.width = "98%", fig.cap = "(ref:captionvc)"}
knitr::include_graphics("images/nancy-rothwell.jpeg")
```

(ref:captionvc) Professor [Nancy Rothwell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Rothwell) served as Vice Chancellor (VC) of the University of Manchester from 2010 to 2024. If *you* were VC, what would you change about how teaching at the University?

So if you were Vice Chancellor, what would you change about the University of Manchester (and Universities generally) to improve the [teaching and learning](https://www.manchester.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/teaching-learning/)? What would be your first task to make a difference to students like yourself? 👑

### One tune, one podcast, one book and one film {#otopof}

We love our books, music, films and podcasts. This love is expressed in gratuitous popular culture references throughout *Coding your Future*. Critics say the musical playlists in chapter \@ref(enjoying) are clogged up with:

* Lancashire boy bands, see section \@ref(lancashire)
* [BritPop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britpop) and Dad-Rock, see section \@ref(dadrock) [@dadrock]
* Cardigan-swinging, [shoe-gazing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoegaze), [Glastonbury-gigging](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glastonbury_Festival), [indie music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indie_rock), see section \@ref(indie)
* Music made with digital computers rather than analogue instruments, see section \@ref(electronica)
* other antiquities from a bygone era, see figure \@ref(fig:dadrock-fig).

```{r dadrock-fig, echo = FALSE, fig.align = "center", out.width = "98%", fig.cap = "(ref:captiondadrock)"}

```

(ref:captiondadrock) From the Beatles to the Rolling Stones, U2 to Fleetwood Mac, Oasis to Guns N' Roses and Jimi  Hendrix to Queen: the [Dad-rock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dad-rock) playlist shamelessly revels in classic but bygone glories of yesteryear.

So, can you recommend a:

* **TUNE!** One tune to rejuvenate or internationlise our playlists. Why is it important to you?
    - Perhaps it makes you relax, feel happy or comforted?
    - Maybe it reminds you of special people, a special time or special place in your life?
    - We'll add it to *The Coder's Playlist* in section \@ref(coders)
* **PODCAST:** One podcast  you’ve enjoyed that you’d recommend people listen or subscribe to 🎧
* **BOOK:** One book (or audiobook) you’ve enjoyed, either fiction or non-fiction 📕
* **FILM:** One film we’ve got to go and watch right now, old or new 🍿

### Time traveller {#your-time}

Do you wish that you knew what you know now, when you were younger? Just like [Ronnie Lane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_Lane), [Ronnie Wood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_Wood) and [Rod Stewart](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Stewart), we all probably feel that way sometimes, see figure \@ref(fig:faces2-fig). So, if you could travel back in time to meet the younger you, just starting University:

* What would you tell your former self, now that you are older and wiser?
* What would you tell current students to help them get the most of their preciously short time at University?

```{r faces2-fig, echo = FALSE, fig.align = "center", out.width = "99%", fig.cap = "(ref:captionfaces2)"}
knitr::include_graphics("images/faces.jpeg")
```
(ref:captionfaces2) Poor old grandad I laughed at all his words but I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger, see [Ooh La La](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ooh_La_La_(Faces_song)). [@faces] Do you wish that you knew what you know now, when you were younger? What would you tell your younger self about getting the most from University life?

What conversations would you have with your younger self? What have you learned? Is there anything you know now, that you wish you'd known when you were younger? ⏱

## Everything I had to know, I heard it on my radio {#radio}
Let's leave the last words on podcasting to *[The Buggles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Buggles)* and *[Queen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_(band))*. Podcasting is an evolution and mutation of radio but did [video kill the radio star](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Killed_the_Radio_Star)? [@videokilled] What if everything you had to know, you could hear it on your radio, see figure \@ref(fig:gaga-fig)? Tune in to find out. 📻

```{r gaga-fig, echo = FALSE, fig.align = "center", out.width = "99%", fig.cap = "(ref:captiongaga)"}
knitr::include_graphics("images/Everything-I-had-to-know-I-heard-it-on-my-radio.jpeg")
```

(ref:captiongaga) All we hear is [Radio Ga Ga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Ga_Ga) but everything I had to know, I heard it on my radio. So don't become some background noise, a backdrop to the girls and boys, who just don't know and just don't care and just complain when you're not there. Radio. [@radiogaga]

I'd sit alone and watch your light, my only friend through teenage nights. Everything I had to know I heard it on my radio. [@radiogaga]

## Summarising your hearing {#tldr21}
(ref:tldr)

Your future is bright, your future needs listening. Listening to your future, will help you code your future.
