I’m Bill Gathen. I’ve been coding professionally since 1995, and this is where I talk about teaching, learning and getting better.

I believe writing code is a superpower you give yourself, and the programs we create are superpowers we give to others.

I am one of the founders of the West Michigan Ruby User Group Training, introducing new coders to the wonderful world of Ruby from 2012 to 2015.

A few of my Open Source projects are:

• Empower: Go + React application that uses AI integration to help your accomplish your goals
• Pentaphone: In-browser music performance tool using React.js and the Web Audio API
